Project background:
background
Urban areas in past have not received much attention in terms of their planning, development
and management despite the fact that cities and economic development are inextricably
linked. Because of high productivity of urban areas, economic development activities get
located in cities. Accordingly, it is desirable that human settlements are provided with
necessary planning and development inputs so that their orderly growth and development is
ensured. This would also be necessary for ensuring efficient functioning of human
settlements for improving their productivity and for providing desirable quality of life to its
residents
ts in order to cater to their economic, physical and metaphysical needs. The urban
development strategy for any state thus assumes importance for not only its economic
emancipation but also its physical well-being.
well
Therefore, the real challenge before the planning and development of towns/cities is to have
balanced development in all spheres of urban life: physical, social and economic in a
comprehensive manner. There is need to make urban transition efficient, equitable and cost
effective by making policiess and bringing out new projects/schemes. For this preparation of
Master Plan becomes the guiding principle for wiping out the deficits in urban infrastructure,
mining the problems and exploring the potentials of the city.
“Master
Master Plan (MP)” is identified as
as a strategic tool to achieve the above objectives.
Considering the role and importance of rational and orderly growth of urban centers, the
Government of Jammu and Kashmir intends to streamline the development process in urban
settlements to ensure that these
hese settlements continue to achieve their objectives of improved
efficiency and productivity. Accordingly, it is desirable to have a stringent check on
haphazard development and have an optimum land use plan for these cities/towns. In the
process, the state government has taken the decision to prepare Master Plans for all towns and
cities for a directed development and to provide required amenities to its people.
The Town planning organization Jammu is an apex institution for promoting the balanced
urban growth
rowth in the region of Jammu in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. It has undertaken
the task of providing planned residential, commercial and industrial spaces incorporating the
latest state of the art technology and town planning norms. In this process, Tow
Town planning
organization Jammu has taken up the preparation of the Master Plan for Udhampur to address
the infrastructure and service delivery gaps in Udhampur and to make the growth and
development of Local Planning Area (L.P.A) rational. The key objective of the Master Plan is

Urban during respective decades. The point
should be noted that the Census 1991 was not held here so the growth rate has been taken of

follo
potentials.

and is further choked
by Rehris, hand carts and heavy vehicles in the mandi areas.
2.5.2.5. Informal Sector
In addition to these Traditional markets city has large number of informal markets. The
genesis of these informal markets has its origin in the large number of tourists and visitors
coming to the city regularly,, lack of formal commercial spaces, land values and land disposal
policy of the Parastatal agencies. Most of these informal markets are
are located around the
major traffic nodes including railway station, bus stand and places of tourist interest and
religious Centres etc, most of these informal markets are located on road berms, vacant
land/open
/open spaces, parking lots etc are creating numerous
us problems in the efficient functioning
of the city including traffic and transportation. In order to rationalize the growth and
development of the city, informal sector needs to be made integral part of the city planning
and development process. Options for creating more affordable commercial areas in terms of
day markets needs to be explored in order to enable the informal sector contribute to the
economic growth of the city.
Informal sector, survey in the city has been conducted in order to have better understanding
of the exact nature and characteristics of these areas. The major considerations taken while
analyzing the informal activities in these stretch/junctions are surrounding land use, character
of land use activity, effective width of road reduced
reduced due to encroachments and informal
activity.
The nature of informal activity, whether it is permanent, temporary or mobile, duration of
time and peak hours of informal activities, space occupied for particular use, availability of
infrastructure, source off electricity, mode of disposal generated by these informal vendors.
Informal parking and onstreet parking. As per the data provided by the Municipal council
Udhampur there are 500 street vendors throughout the entire planning area who are engaged
in informal
ormal sector. The issue is to have formal spaces for such informal markets so that they
don’t create problem rather help in economic generation of the city.

2.5.2.6. KEY ISSUES
1. The markets of the old city are highly congested and have high density. Due to
absence of adequate parking and organized commercial area the movement in these
areas has been hampered.
2. The narrow streets and road encroachments have further degraded the aesthetic and
potential of the area. This has affected the trade of the markets and thus their
existence.
3. No institution dedicated to research and development of traditional industrial
products of the city, like wooden and forest products, is established to improve their
quality, cost effectiveness and marketing.
4. No commercial complex for banking, insurance and share market exists in the city
city.
5. No organized space is available for the informal sector of the city. So that they don’t
create problem rather help in economic generation of the city.
2.5.3. Tourism
2.5.3.1. Tourist nodes at regional level
The existence of followingg Tourist spots

15. Pancheri,, one of the best hill station about 40 km from Udhampur city, a health resort
with very pleasant weather, annual Shankri Devta mela is a big tourist attraction in
summers.
Accordingly, it attracts large number of tourists on day-to-day
day day basis. In addition
addition, it has the
distinct advantage of having a number of historical sites present within the LPA and its
surroundings, which offer enormous opportunities of development. These sites can be
effectively used and developed for leveraging the tourism potential and
and for providing and
required impetus to the tourism. Further, it has been observed that despite large no. of tourists
visiting the city, their actual stay is highly restricted. Most of the tourists stay only for 22-3
hours. In order to make tourism as the major
major economic driver for the area, it is proposed to
extend the stay of the tourists to two-three
two three days. In addition, city has very limited
accommodation for catering to low budget tourists. Accordingly, it is also important that
appropriate level of budget hotels are created in the city. Scheme for accommodating tourists
in the residential houses (bed and breakfast) can also be considered as an option for providing
affordable accommodation to the tourists. Incentive based scheme will have to be framed for
creating
reating appropriate level of budget accommodation. It is also proposed to provide numerous
options for the tourists by developing tourist circuits at various levels like Local and Regional
level.
The entire approach to promote tourism shall revolve around provision of 4 as including
1. Promoting high degree of Accessibility,
2. Providing comfortable and affordable quality Accommodation,, including low budget
accommodation.
3. Creating more opportunities for Attracting tourists, and
4. Providing state of art tourism related
rela Infrastructure and Amenities.

Central - City Udhampur
Central city of Udhampur was built on human scale i.e. a pedestrian entity. The narrow
zigzag street pattern is a typical medieval planning concept and was not meant for vehicular
movement.. The maximum distance from one corner to another is 3 km and almost every area
around Dhabbar Park (the nucleus of city) is within 1-2
1 2 km reach. So it could be visited by
foot from the remotest corner. However, with the changing life styles and priorities of the
living community all are in state of neglect. The threats posed to these areas and buildings are
misuse, alteration in the architectural fabric, etc. So far, no effort has been made at the state
or local level to preserve them. So the major problem of the area is conversion of land use
from residential to commercial activities such conversion has led to lack of breathing spaces
within old city. Strategies need to be evolved to stop future conversion of landuse to
commercial and to restore its old glory
glory and provision of open spaces wherever possible. The
Dhabbar area must be considered as heart and soul of the Udhampur city and requires major

efforts as immediate actions. The old character of city can be preserved by preparing the
special guidelines too the areas.
2.5.3.4. Hotels
There are 35 hotels in the city. Some of the prominent hotels of the city are Dolphins,
Tanishq and Samrat hotel.
l. There are total 408 rooms available with AC and Non AC Facility
having a cost cost varies from the Rs 70 per day to the Rs
Rs 2400 per day. The list and detail of
Hotels has been given in Annexure IV there is urgent need for creating affordable and
budget accommodation with quality facilities for the tourists in the city. This would not only
help the tourists but would also extend their stay in the city. Further, most of the tourists halt
at Udhampur as a transit
ransit destination before proceeding to other areas like Vaishno Devi
Temple. This makes their visit to the city of a very short duration. However, considering the
potential of Udhampur in terms of its connectivity and location of large number of places of
historical and tourist interest in the close vicinity, the stay of the tourist could be increased
from a single day to minimum 2-3
2 3 days. This would facilitate the city’s trade and commerce
and boost its economy.
2.5.3.5. Eco-Tourism
The Udhampur region has a large variety of terrain, climate and vegetation. Various wild
animals and birds persist in it. Tourists are attracted to rich and varied array of natural,
cultural, business, entertainment, sports and other attractions. They need to continuously
renovate and improve
mprove such facilities, in order to sustain in the competitive market. Tourism is
required to be well developed and managed in such a way that it benefits the resident
population. Environment quality has to be improved. Heritage has to be maintained and
preserved
eserved for tourism. Presently, however, degradation of environment and heritage are the
major causes of worry and require to be immediately addressed. Eco-tourism
Eco tourism is required to be
propagated in consonance with environmental imperatives. Udhampur is witne
witnessing an
unprecedented crisis to sustain the tourism due to degradation of its environs. In order to
safeguard the original character of Udhampur, on one hand and to ensure its continued
attraction for the tourists, eco--tourism is the only panacea. All the tourist activities must come
up in accordance with environmental and ecological imperatives. Entire area free of urban
uses and forest cover in LPA are required harnessed for recreational purposes for tourists as

well as resident population. It is also imperative
imperative to devise Tourism Mater Plan for Town level
as well as Regional level by concerned organizations in consultation with the community
community.
2.5.3.6. Key issues
In view of the above, key issues related to heritage and tourism has been identified, which are
as follows:
1.
Lack of Focus on preservation and conservation of heritage buildings like holy
Devika complex due to the Non listing.
2. Lack of strategies for promoting tourism such as promoting famous eating joints,
opening up of food streets, Bazaar Culture, etc. to promote the old as the role model
of urban heritage.
3. Absence of tourist circuits connecting various places of tourist interest in LPA act as
disincentive for taking tourists to other destinations present within Udhampur LPA.
4. Absence of organized mode of travel
travel connecting different tourist sites/destinations
within the city and in its surroundings.
5. Non-declaration
declaration of the Dhabbar area and Devika complex as the Special Heritage
Area is hampering the process to introduce some innovative and urgently needed steps
to be taken up like Pedestrianisation,
Pedestrianisation, concept of Group Visiting, adequate financial
help and tax incentives to the owners of the heritage buildings, etc.
6. Lack of affordable accommodation within the city for tourists.
7. Lack of parking spaces for the visitors with in hotels and sites.
8. Lack of Integration of existing eco system with Tourism

3.1.2. Challenges of land use:
The city is witnessing unprecedented Landuse transformation. The residential use is being
succeeded by commercial and tourism pursuits. Commercial use is colliding with
transportation, tourism and institutional uses. Non-conforming
Non
and incompatible uses like
workshops, wholesale, markets and on road parking are badly affecting the predominant and
befitting uses as well as community life.
The parks, open spaces, forest areas, drainage lines, roads and steep slopes are being
encroached upon and threatened by consumerism forces.
Over-development
development of many localities even on steep slopes without requisite infrastructure
including
ng roads and parking is a dismantle part of the critical Landuse scenario susceptible to
hazards. In order to preserve
rve the predominant use of the areas in terms of residential
neighborhood, commercial area, tourism, institutional and transportation uses, except
incidental uses pertaining, no other use is allowed therein. The non
non-conforming and
incompatible uses are required
uired to be shifted outside the city. Balanced Landuse pattern with
maximum upto 60 percent plotted area in any locality needs no emphasis. Over
Over-developed
localities and central area require conservative surgery forthwith to combat their over
development crisis.
The city has overdeveloped and is under utmost strain. The sunny slopes and spurs have.
Lack of accessibility to many structures and localities is a matter of serious concern. The
localities susceptible to hazards have to be dealt with. The multi-storey
multi orey culture against hill
development imperatives has to be effectively addressed. The city being overweight, whereby
it is underrated for tourism purposes, calls for stringent regulatory control mechanism to
restore its lost glory and make it sustainable for coming generations as well as tourists. The
city is therefore, crying for the following:following:

3.2.1. Water Supply
3.2.1.1.
Sources of water supply
Udhampur town 725 meter from Mean Sea Level because of its hill to
topography and
undulating profile i.e.
.e. hill lock ridges has many a resource of water tapping resources, its
impound age and supply by Gravitation and equitably to all colonies, commercial
establishment and industrial areas. All the urban and rural settlements falling in the LPA are
dependent on the Perennial water supply as the source for meeting their daily needs of water
supply. The system of water supply in Udhampur is basically river Tawi, which is running
from north to south on eastern Boundaries of the LPA. Sacred Devika,, transferring through it
towards having a water shed of Massive Hillock 1.e. 1.5 km in length and 150 feet high .
Birwan Nalah 663 meter on its western boundaries has also a perennial source of water.
Water supply to outlying villages is also done by tube wells and springs at Sunthain and
Krimchi filtrations plant as well as wells and bowlis.
The total capacity of these sources of water supply is 3233 gallons per day
day. The estimated
water demand for a city is broadly classified as Domestic and non-Domestic
mestic. The domestic
water demand includes per capita consumption and system losses, while non domestic water
demand includes industrial and commercial consumption, institutional consumption and fire
fighting demand.
Domestic demand
The existing domestic water requirement for Udhampur city have been calculated by taking
the desirable norm of 135 LPCD for Medium cities as given in UDPFI guide
guidelines. But as per
the UDPFI guidelines for the cities having population more than 50000 should have desirable

requirement of 150 LPCD,, so the existing water demand of LPA Udhampur is 3192 LPCD,
which is sufficient for the supply.
Non-Domestic demand
Industrial Demand: Bulk water supplied to industrial establishment will be considered as per
specific requirement of each industry.
i
However, the figure of 150 LPCD includes water
requirements for commercial, institutional and minor industries.
3.2.1.2.
Area and Population Coverage
Municipal council area
Looking at the existing status of water supply within the council area, it has been Observed
that out of the 668.40 hectares which falls under the jurisdiction of local body, 90 % of the
area is presently covered by water supply. In terms of population coverage,
coverage, the network is
serving 90% of total city population which is a good sign of development. The population
served by piped water supply includes service through the house connections, Despite the
fact, the water extracted is higher than the actual consumption but the water available to the
residents is of much lower order due to high wastage (about 43%) of the water supply. Major
reason for wastage of water is leakage in the network, which is more than 50 years old, poor
maintenance and lack of awareness on the part of the community.
Other Settlements
Out of the 47 rural settlements main source of water is supplied through spring
spring, but still the
five settlements namely Nagrota,
Nagrota Chain, Gordi. Preyan and Rathian are depended on the
Bowlis and wells.
3.2.1.3.
Water Treatment
As per the data provided by the PHE division, Udhampur there are four wat
water treatment
plants in Udhampur LPA three of these are at Salmay and one at Sounthian. The total water
suppy is filtered through rapid gravity filtration plant and bleaching powder operation. No
scientific system is available in all the settlements to check the quality of water supplied. The
practice of water sampling to determine the quality of water is not practiced in any of the
settlement.

Due to rapid increase in population, there has been a simultaneous increase in water
connections for domestic use. Because of large number of commercial establishments in
Udhampur, number of connections in commercial categories is also very high.
Further, a system of water supply is operational in Udhampur is un-metered
un metered water supply
with majority of connections falling in the category of the entire water supply is unmetered.
In thee absence of metering system, major wastage of water has been observed. Accordingly,
in order to conserve the water and rationalizing the system of water charging, system of water

Considering the rapid growth of Udhampur, Appropriate strategies and mechanism needs to
be explored, including recycling of the waste water by the industry. Mechanism of rainwater
harvesting should also be encouraged at the household/ institutional/ indust
industrial level in order
to provide better quality and quantity of water.
3.2.2. Sewerage and Sanitation
The disposal of sewage generated by industrial, commercial, domestic and institutions is also
one of the basic function of the local bodies. Providing sewage disposal network is mandated
due to its impact on the quality of life and quality of environment. Accordingly, sewage
disposal has also been considered as one of the critical component of urban infrastructure
determining the quality of life in urban sector. In this context, while preparing the future
planning framework for the city, it is important to examine the issues and status related to
sewerage and sanitation in Udhampur and the rural settlements located in the LPA.
Presently Udhampur is totally deprived from sewerage facility. The existing system of the
city is Septic Tank, Pit Tank, Directly throwing
thr
into drain based on the individual basis. The
polluted water of Septic
tic tank is also throwing into the drains of the city area. In The town
Udhampur the comprehensive sewerage and Sanitation plan needs to be prepared and
implemented.
3.2.3. Drainage
With the creation of large area of hard surface by bringing vacant and green land into
urbanization, large volume of storm water drainage is generated in urban areas. Draining the
rain water assumes importance because of the numerous problems created due to ineffi
inefficient
disposal of storm water. Due to inefficient or non-existence
non
of Storm Water Drainage
network, most of the city face a problem of water logging,
logging causing heavy loss to property and
human lives.
Udhampur has the advantage of having a network of both natural and manmade open
drains/nallahs, which have a general slope of North to South. The city of Udhampur has 100
percent Drainage network with Pucca drains within the MC boundary the development of
Drainage network is lacking in
i only four wards which were added later in the municipal
boundary in 2011. Considering the existing status of Storm Water Network
Network, it appears that
this network has high priority on the agenda of Municipal Council.. At present more than 95%
of the city area and population is covered under the storm water network but outside the
municipal boundary it seems to be at the lower rank.
In the city of Udhampur there are 81010 feet of main drain and 38404 feet lengths of Puuca
drain. Cleaning, repairing and Maintaince is not available.

Drainage Network
Udhampur has the advantage of having a network of both natural and manmade open
drains/nallahs, which have a general slope of North to south and all eastern ridge towards
river Tawi,, and western ridge towards Devak nallah,
na
far western towards Beerwan Khad
Khadd.
This has a sizeable water shed area consisting of dense forests of Gangera Sharda forests of
Gangera,, Sharda forest, Chattri, Sumbal and Sui, Rakh Tanda, and Jakhain
Jakhain, long stretches of
plateaus and elevated ground along Dhar Udhampur Road form a water shed towards Beriyal,
Kawa; rich agricultural lands which also has a Defence airport. Similarly, western stretch of
Balian-Udhampur
Udhampur road, Slopes abrubtly forming water shed and Drainage towards Devak
Which becomes a tributary
ributary of Beerwan Nalah at Barian village. The rising mounds of land in
between
tween Devak and Beerwan Nalah having slope Balian forming intersecting mounds and
land Protrusions, with Plateau
eau’s and Water Bodies at the top. The gradient of these drains is
well due to its topography. There are two major Drains serving the city, namely Devak,
Beerwan and Air force nallah,, Air force nallah is running parallel to the river
ver Tawi and merge
with Tawi in the south. Devak and Beerwan Nallah are also running in west Side of the city.
Both these nallahs ultimately discharge into the River Tawi, which is located east and south
to the city. Thus, Devak and Omara Drain remain most critical for discharging the storm
water as well as sewage. Despite the fact that there is a network of Drains and Nallahs
available in Udhampur,, most of them are unfortunately used for carrying the untreated
Sullage and domestic refuse. Since the area close to these Nallahs/drains
/drains has been urbanized
by mushrooming of residential colonies including slums, most of the household waste and
sullage is dumped into these nallahs/drains.
In the absence of any treatment plant in the Udhampur urban area, this practice has led to not
only high degree of health hazard to the adjoining
a
communities, but has emerged as the major
threat to environment and quality of life. These nallahs have become a major eyesore and has
led to high degree of pollution of perennial source of water resource making it unfitted at
most of the places for
or human consumption.
In view of the existing scenario, it becomes critical that practice of discharging untreated
sullage into the drains/nallahs should be immediately stopped and these drains/nallahs should
be restored to their lost glory.
Key Issues
Looking at the existing status of drainage, following major issues emerge;
1. Whole rural settlements of planning area are devoid of drainage facility.
2. Lack of new techniques, such as Rainwater storage, which can help in conserving the
water.
54
Data Base Report
Udhampur

Jammu
3. Disposal of domestic
stic refuse and untreated sullage in the Drains water drains has led to
high degree of health hazard, emerging as major threat to environment and quality of
life.
4. Use of storm water drains/nallahs for disposal of sewerage.
5. Lack of cleaning at regular interval of time.
6. The Holy Devika Rivulet receives waste water as well as sludge from the areas
located towards Western side of the town .The holy devika is considered
considered sacred by the
public for its historical and religious importance; In view of its religio
religious and historic
importance it has become necessary to keep Holy Devika pollution free.
3.2.4. Solid waste Management
Solid waste management is the prime responsibility of the Municipal Council Udhampur
involving collection, storage, segregation, transportation and
and disposal. In Udhampur urban
limits, house to house collection of the solid waste is carried out through a number of sanitary
workers deployed by the Municipal Council, payment of which is made on shared basis by
Municipal council and Committees which are constituted at Mohalla level and support the
system through household contributions. In all, there are average 150 sanitary workers
deployed.
3.2.4.1.
Generation
The total generation of solid waste in the city of Udhampur is estimated to be 25
25-30 tons per
day (TPD).
D). This large amount of solid waste generated is disposed off along the Dhar road
outside the town due to the non availability of permanent land fill site in the city
city. It has been
observed that there has been 100% collection of waste generated in the town but the No any
land exists as permanent landfill site.
Composition
Solid waste comprises of waste generated from different sources. Major sources of generation
are individuals, households, industries, trade and commerce, hotels and restaurants,
healthcare institutions including dispensaries and hospitals, animals and floating populations
in terms of tourists, hawkers, etc. Solid waste generated can be broadly classified into four
categories
1. Organic Waste,, which includes kitchen waste (food items), leaves, remains of

In terms of type of waste generated, there is no segregation of waste at the point of
generation.
3.2.4.2.
Collection
The daily collection of solid waste in the city is reported to be 100 percent. Different
hierarchy of collection of solid waste is practiced in the city. At the household level, Door to
Door collection of waste is practiced. Since household waste has high contents of organic
waste, no system of segregation is used at the generation level. In the process, the quality of
recyclable material
erial gets distorted due to mixing of the dry and wet waste. No house to house
collection of solid waste was done in the LIG areas and in slum areas of the city, such as
Sukhi Karlai, Jakani.. In such areas, the Solid Waste is dumped mostly in the available open
lands, vacant plots and nearby low lying areas/water bodies. The areas where house to house
collection system is not provided community bins are strategically provided by the council or
their direct use by the surrounding inhabitants. The Council has deployed about 100 metallic
bins each
ch having a capacity of 100 kg, but they do not exist in the tow
town now. However,
numbers of bins provided by the council are inadequate to take care of the waste generated
and accordingly, at many places open spaces and roadsides
r
s have emerged as the preferred
dumping sites.
Besides this there are seven major collection points has been marked by the council i.e. Meat
market, Domail, Barian, Salathaia Chowk,
Chow near District Hospital and Sailan Talab as waste
collection points or bins, which act as waste storage points from where they are transported
for final disposal to the Landfill Site.

3.2.4.3.
Transportation
For the transportation of the solid waste from the collection centre to the disposal site,
Udhampur M.C. has deployed number
number of vehicles including one Truck, two truck tippers of
different size.
These vehicles are used for primary collection of waste from the community bins and its
transportation to landfill site. 1 JCB is also operational in the city for loading waste. The
present
resent collection infrastructure and manpower available with Municipal council is observed
to be inadequate as per the requirement. Hence, effective implementation of the Integrated
Solid Waste Management
agement Project for the city is required to be done.
3.2.4.4.
Disposal
Udhampur Municipal council practices open disposal of waste without undertaking any pre
pretreatment of the waste. Municipal council has not identified permanent landfill site. At
present waste generated is dumped along the Dhar road at a distance of 20 km from the city
which is giving a birth to Unhygienic condition to the living environment of local people.

In addition, informal dumping of the waste has been witnessed in Nallahs
Nallahs, open spaces,
vacant plots, along bye pass, etc. This informal dumping of garbage
garbage along byepass, nallah,
etc. has lead to the creation of unhygienic environment in the areas of the city. Moreover,
there is no formal system of solid waste management operating in the villages of LPA, which
have been included within planning area.
area
In addition to this, Fruit and Vegetable markets located along Dhar road also been found to
generate considerable agricultural waste, which needs proper collection, transportation and
management.
In order to effectively manage the solid waste, it will be important
important to involve all the
stakeholders and creating awareness among the masses to manage the waste and keep the city
clean. The best approach will be to ask people to generate as little waste as possible and to
segregate the waste at the household level itself.
itself. Critical points generating large volume of
waste should be identified and a separate strategy for collection and disposal of waste should
be formulated in consultation with the local community. There should be strategies to deal
with generation of E-waste
waste in the city.
Key issues
Despite the fact
ct that Municipal Council is giving prime importance to Solid Waste
Management,, heaps of stinking waste can be seen all over the city. Not only households and
individuals contribute to the present scenario, but manpower
manpower deployed has also been a major
contributor in making the city unhygienic. The removal of garbage is carried out in arbitrary
manner and cleaning of roads is done in most unprofessional manner. Solid waste
management has emerged as the most challenging
challeng
task for all local bodies. Key issues
involved in solid waste Management in Udhampur Council area are
1. Absence of public participation and lack of public awareness.
2. Absence of scientific collection and disposal.
3. Absence of solid waste treatment plant in the city
4. Untrained and unqualified man power deployed in the process of solid waste
management.
5. Absence of segregation of waste at the generation level. This is preventing the use of
degradable waste as manure.
6. Inadequate and out dated collection and storage
storage infrastructure in use by municipal
council.
7. Absence of permanent dumping sites as well and absence of scientific system of
landfill management.
8. Open dumping along roadsides, vacant plots, drains/nallahs, mandis, etc.
9. Lower level of collection of solid waste generated on daily basis.

Spatial Distribution
The matter of concern is the distribution pattern of these educational facilties, which is
uneven in the city. Moreover, these facilities
facilities are located on narrow roads/streets having
mixed land use, which creates traffic bottlenecks at peak hours because of the on street
parking of vehicles. This is because these educational facilities do not have sufficient land
area to provide parking as well as other required facilities to the students. As per the primary
survey of some schools and colleges in the city, it has been analyzed that some private
schools are running in the residential complex located on internal city roads and do not have
separate

privatization of this Sector.. Consequently demand for providing telephone exchanges has
grownn up. To cater to the communication needs of population, L.P.A Udhampur has 1 Govt.
Telephone exchange with a capacity of 1000 lines. The town has about 8000 telephone
connections which also include STD/P.CO’s.
STD/P.CO’s Many Private Communication cpmpanies like

the govt. to provide security from these accidents.
Availability of Fire Stations
There is a fire station having an area of one acre each in the city towards eastern side of
Dabbar with parking yard of 1728 Sq feet. In case of emergency these serve not only the city

Stations is very large and unmanageable thus much beyond the norms because as per the
UDPFI norms 1 fire

Existing infrastructure in Fire Stations
As per the information supplied by the respective fire stations, there are two truck tankers. 1

Key issues of Social infrastructures:
The key issues of social infrastructures existing within the city and LPA which are as
follows:
Education
 The Education facilities are not well distributed over the city area.
 Traffic congestion and parking problem is caused by educational institutions.
 Lack of adequate playgrounds, parking areas, etc. in the institutions located in the
congested areas.
 Lack of higher-level
level facilities, such as colleges, in the LPA Udhampur creates
pressure on the existing educational infrastructure of the city.
Health;
 Facilities distribution
tion pattern is such that city fringe areas lack in the medical
infrastructure.
 Hospitals with in residential area along side residential uses create parking problems
and land use violation.
 The problem is not mere of Public versus private, but this trend will lead to a gap
widening between rich and poor. So facilities must have adequate government share
so that population from
rom all segments of society can have easy access as Govt. is
having 1% share in comparison to private health facilities.
facilities
 The main hospital
tal is disturbing with through traffic.
 In rural areas, medical facilities are inadequate.
Civic amenities
 Lack of adequate civic amenities in the city.
 Existing vehicles in fire station are not able to serve the population in case of any
disaster. No such
ch vehicles exist to enter narrow streets of old areas of city in case of
huge fire in high rise buildings.
 Irrational distribution of fire stations in the city
 Rural area is also dependent upon city infrastructure in terms of fire stations and
recreation need decentralization.
 Recreation areas are sufficient but the uneven distribution throughout the city.
 Location of fire station on narrow and Bus stand road.

individual is nurtured, grows and matures as a human being, part of the society and as a
citizen. Housing, in addition to making contribution to the quality of living, also plays a
significant role in improving the national economy and generation of employment.
Housing has multiplier effect on the economy and industry of the country. It does not provide
merely a shelter but gives an identity to the human being besides making him better human
being. Poor quality off housing or absence of appropriate shelter has considerable impact on
the economy and productivity of human beings besides health and social environment.
Housing is not merely confined to the four walls which make a house but also all supporting

3.4.1. Housing Pattern and Stock
The pattern of use of census houses in Udhampur, in the year 2001 reveals that the total is of
8127 houses in Udhampur MC Area are used for residential purposes. The use of residential
premises for other purposes is also widespread. Every 5th
th house in the city is being used as
shop/office whereas every 18th house in the city is used for school, college, hotel, lodge,
guest house, hospital, dispensary, factory, workshop, work shed, place of worship and other
non - residential
esidential uses. Every 35th house of the city is used for both residential and other
purposes. It reveals that occupation density of census houses is very high.
high
As per census 2001 Within the MC limit of Udhampur the total number of occupied
residential houses
ses are 8127 but the total number of households are 9902 which is showing
that the existing Housing shortage is found to be (9902-8127)=
(
8127)= 1775. So there is a demand
of additional 1775 houses in the Municipal area.
3.4.1.1.
Growth of Housing in Udhampur
Housing is an activity, which is mainly driven by individuals to provide them with an
appropriate shelter. With the rapid increase in population, number of houses has also
recorded an increase. Housing department Jammu and Kashmir has framed many residenti
residential
schemes in case of major cities of Jammu but in case of Udhampur not much work in this
sector is done. The other Govt, agency like Municipal Council has not done any job towards

this sector. Most of the residential area has taken place at its own with tthe efforts of
individuals. Only one area that is named as housing colony located on the National Highway
44 towards the Srinagar has been developed by the housing department which constitutes
only 5 percent of the total residential area.
Key Issues
1. 95% of the city area still remains unplanned
2. No implementation

3. The central area off the city is overcrowded. The limits crowded areas must be defined
wherein no more population be allowed at all and construction be banned further.
4. Lack of Planned housing in the city.

Urban Planners in promoting the Rational Development of Urban areas. Poverty refers to not
only deprivation of vital goods but also includes services determining the quality of life. In
fact, poverty amid plenty is the world’s greatest challenge.

Basic services and amenities available in the slums in Udhampur are given below. It has been
found that 100 % of the slum population has access to safe drinking water
water. The source of the
water in slums it is showing that the out of 1270, 870 are dependent on the public taps and

Key Issues for Urban Poor
 Rapid growth of slums these are 3 in 1995, 7 in 2004 and 21 pockets in 2011
 No check on the proliferation of slums.
 Poor and dilapidated housing in slums. Concentration of slums along byepass and in
the centre of city.
 Lack of basic infrastructure and services in terms of water supply, sewerage, drainage,
electricity etc.
 Absence of open spaces in slum areas.
 Un-hygienic
hygienic condition due to dumping of garbage and accumulation of waste water
and open drainage.
 Poor accessibility
essibility to basic services like Health, Education etc. leading to lower rate of
literacy and high degree of health hazards.
 Poor quality of life emerging from absence of basic necessities of life.
 95 pockets lack access to community latrines.
 Lack of expertise
ertise with Municipal Council to evolve strategies for slum area
development
 Lack awareness among the slum population resulting economy of Jakhani slum is
depended on begging only.
 The women of slum pockets are never being guided to work in the work centers.

Chapter 4: Traffic and Transportation
Transport is the backbone of economy and social structure of any region. If urban centers
have been recognized as engines of Economic growth, Traffic and Transportation has rightly
been termed as wheels of such engines. Road and Rail network plays a vital role in the urban
planning and traffic & transportation has been considered as a function of land use planning.
Transport network is considered as the life line of the city and if any bottleneck or obstruction
comes
omes in between it poses a severe threat to day to day life of the city people. The good road
and rail network is the symbol of the sound development of any city and the study of
transportation helps in understanding the existing situation, potentials, wea
weaknesses etc. and
helps to draft out strategies and projects for the future development.
Road and Rail sector occupy the significant roles in the transport sector in Udhampur and
surrounding areas. The road network has been studied in terms of classificatio
classification of roads,
length of roads, cross section of roads (divided and undivided carriageways), area under
major existing roads and major road intersections. Available data regarding rail network has
also been studied.
4.1.
Road Network at L.P.A. Level:
Level
The L.P.A Udhampur
ampur is well served by roads connecting it to various cities of other districts
and within district. One National Highway i.e. (N.H.-44)
(N.H. ) from Jammu to Srinagar passes
through it.
This Highway has Right of Way varying from 38m to 59 m and this Stretch of hhighway has
been handed over to NHAI for four laning.
laning. There is another Road which is known as Dhar –
Udhampur road connecting Udhampur to the Dhar town having a right of way 25 m within
the city boundary.
There
ere is one major road also Exiting, which is known
know as Udhampur Bypass which is taken
off from 54.569 milestone of NH-44
NH
and meet again at 67.00 milestone having a length of
18.75 km which has been also handed over to NHAI for Four laining.
So the road network of Udhampur LPA & MC is primarily “Semi Ring Radial” with an
intense network of three roads leading to core city.
The existing road network in L.P.A Udhampur shows that it is well served by the regional
roads which provide a high level of connectivity with other parts of the state and covers a
total 36.34 percentages of road length.

The above mentioned major city roads carry the traffic from one segment to other i.e. they are
the sector roads which have irregular alignments with varying widths (i.e. between 3m and
8m) and frequent intersections leading to serious capacity constraints
Udhampur suffers from outdated circulation pattern, which was initially
initially designed to suit the
pedestrian and animal traffic. The circulation network of Udhampur has developed according
to the restraints of hill topography and morphology of the city. Steep terrain has restricted the
scope of road widening. On road parking
parking is further aggravating the problem. The hill
topography discourages the use of slow moving vehicles.
All the local roads covers remaining 65.64 percentage of road length and inside the core city
it is found to be only 6.51 % of total road length which iss showing that at local level there is

Observing the accident statistics for Udhampur city from the year 1991, it has been
concluded that the total number of registered accident cases have increased from 2004
onwards and is highest in the year 2010, is of the order of (39+327) =366. This figure is
highest among the last ten years, which implies that Udhampur city is facing traffic problems
acutely, which has resulted into large number of accidents in the city. On an av
average 10% of
the total cases registered are fatal in nature. The cause of accidents (other than negligence of
driver) is the blind curves, lack of signals/traffic lights/ road markings, encroachment
reducing effective road width, poor road condition or poor
poor road geometry, which require
improvements.

Varying speed
Speed is a function which is the important for the movement of the vehicles. The speeds of
various types of vehicles are differing from each other. It is very slow in case of slow moving
vehicles that is Animal Carts, Hand Carts, and Cycles etc. and in case of and very high in
case of faster modes that is cars, buses, auto rickshaws, and

conflict in their movements necessitating frequent overtaking of vehicles by the fast vehicles.
Under these classifications the speed of
of different modes can be classified as fast speed modes
and slow speed modes.

There for we can say:
1. Congestion is the function of various speed ranges.
2. Various speeds of different modes in a flow will result in conflicting movements.
3. Greater variations in the speed of different modes the more will be the congestion in
the flow of traffic.

Space requirement for different modes
The total road area required for transportation purposes will depend upon the mode of
conveyance people use. The area of each mode varies due to different height length and width
characteristics.
Under the classifications the area required the different modes can again be classified into
1. Light vehicles

The above mentioned area is the space required by different vehicles when they are stationary
but since the vehicles are in motion, the space required by vehicles will be different at
different speeds due to the head ways in the stream. At low speeds vehicles can follow each
other closely whereas at higher speed the head ways have to be longer between vehicles.

Parking Facilities
Insufficient availability of parking spaces is a major problem, being faced by the residents of
Udhampur as well as tourists who come to Udhampur with their own vehicles. As number of
vehicles has increased manifold, there has not been corresponding rise in number of public
parking lots. Survey of the vehicle has also been conducted. It has been observed that
parking facilities need to be based on:
I.
Light vehicular
icular parking at C.B.D. Dabbar
II.
Short time parking for Buses bound for valley halting near old jail road and short of
traffic check post for refreshment purposes.
III.
Parking of long queue of vehicles of all types along the roads due to road blockades.
IV.
Parking of vehicles around the Petrol pumps near the auto workshops due to break
breakdown
At present, there is no organized
parking space for Vehicles in
Planning Area. The parking on the
various roads is on the NH--44 and
Dhar road.
Parking study has been carried out at
the
following
location.
The

On road, parking is playing havoc with the traffic. Parking lots have to be provided at
strategic locations and all the roads to be made free from road side parking which is
occupying 30 to 40% effective road width. Unauthorized parking is required to be heavily
charged. Hence, there is a need of organized parking lots in the city of Udhampur.

4.8.1. Inter-State
The existing Bus terminal is located on the NH-44.

The area of this bus terminal
erminal is 15 kanals
which is quite inadequate and the same is located in the congested Central Area. It has a
capacity to accommodate about 50 buses per day but the existing Buses departing from
Udhampur Bus stand are 230 per day. So this bus terminal has become over
over-crowded and
traffic often becomes standstill during peak hours. This bus terminal is no more sufficient to
cater for the increasing requirements of Udhampur planning area, regional population and
tourists.
There is no scope for widening the Existing Bus stand
stand due to the non availability of Land so
there is a need to shift the location (along with Requisite parking) of the Bus stand to cater
the existing and Future requirement of Udhampur planning area.

Major Traffic Problems
The major traffic problems in the historic city of Udhampur are as follows:
follows:-
84
Data Base Report
Udhampur
Town P
Jammu
Through Traffic:The major traffic problem of Udhampur is passing of the regional traffic through the city
which adds to thee volume of the city traffic and creates congestion, as it has a semi radial
pattern of roads and the major regional roads namely Jammu – Srinagar, D
Dhar-Udhampur
converges in the central part of the city. An existing byebye pass i.e. 18.5 km long is giving
relief to the city from through traffic but upto some extent only.
Parking Problems
The parking problem in Udhampur city can be divided into the following categories:
In old city
Due to the presence of old structure, mixed land use, presence of wholesale and specialized
markets namely Meat market, Gol market, Main bazaar etc. Wholesale fru
fruit and vegetable
market, godowns, etc. creates severe traffic problems because of negligible parking space. It
gets worse by the presence of hand carts, horse carts, three
three wheeler carrier, Tempo,
Rickshaw,, rehri etc. which causes traffic bottlenecks in the city
Along Commercial Streets
Mushrooming of informal commercial on road front without the provision of adequate
parking is another major traffic problem in certain pockets
pockets of Udhampur city.
In Residential Colonies
Roadside parking has reduced the road width which hampers the free flow of traffic and
cause traffic problems. Private Nursing homes and private tuition schools opened in
residential houses without any provision
provision of parking lots hampers free flow of traffic
especially in areas like Adarsh colony, Christian colony etc.
In Institutional Areas
Most of the private schools have inadequate parking facilities that leads to traffic congestion
congestion,
especially during peak hourss mainly in front of government schools located in the Dhabbar
area.
Also location of office in the centre like DC Office, Police Station leads to the inadequate
Parking space.
Near Transport Terminals
No organized parking and space for auto rickshaws near bus stand because of which autos,
Taxis,, etc. are parked along the main road leading to bus stand, thereby reducing the
effective road width to a considerable extent and causes congestion in front of Bus Stand
Stand.
85
Data Base Report
Udhampur
Town P
Jammu
Reduction of road width
h
Encroachment along both sides of the roads by the shopkeepers reduces the effective road
width and restricts the free flow of traffic in central business district and at Roadside parking
of cars, Auto rickshaws especially near bus stand and railway station
station reduces the road width.
Key issues
 Increased Number of registered vehicles in Udhampur,, which have directly impacted
increasing road jams and accident cases. Most of these are private rather than being
public ones.
 The entry of private vehicles and four wheelers inside the Dhabbar market is creating
lot of congestion on the roads. No parking provisions have been given outside the
Dhabbar market road running around the Gol market to prevent the entry of this kind
of traffic.
 Parking is a major problem in Udhampur city. On road parking is common, leading to
jams and delays.
 The width of most of the roads may not be
be sufficient for the traffic for nest 20-30
years, keeping in view the existing trend of encroachment.
 Existing bus stand is not sufficient and there
there is no scope of expansion
expansion.
 Poor geometry of road junction needs engineering improvements.
 Ribbon Development along roads reducing the road width of major highways.
 The congestion index on various roads is high requiring four laining and traffic
management.

Chapter 5 : Projection and Potential Demand Analysis
After having a depth study and analysis of Udhampur Local Planning Area, the next step is to
project the future population upto the year 2031. This becomes important as projected
population is the prime factor for the judgement of Development Plan, since it defines
quantum
tum of the existing extent of the development and future requirement by the projected
population. It also lays the basis for working out the future landuse and infrastructure
requirements for the Local Planning Area. For this purpose, the past trend of gro
growth of
population in Udhampur city, as well as rural settlements falling in LPA has been considered.
5.1.
Population projection
The prime objective of any Master Plan is to assess the present situation and project the
future population for plan period, and accordingly
accordingly calculate the requirements of both physical
and social infrastructure in order to cater to the needs of such population. To arrive at a
conclusive projection figure, three methods of population projections have been used for the
city as well as the whole LPA. The methods used for projecting population are:
1. Arithmetic Progression Method.
2. Geometric Progression Method.
3. Incremental Increase Method.

After calculating the projection figures from three methods for Udhampur city, it was found
that there is much variation in the projections. So, in order to eliminate this vari
variation in the
population, the average of all figures is considered. Further, for evolving short term and long
term strategies, population projections for intermediate stages including 2011 and 2021,
besides 2031, have been calculated. Same procedure has been
been applied for all the villages of

5.4.2.6. Recreational Facilities
According to UDPFI Guidelines recreational facilities include parks and open spaces,
amusement parks, sports centre and play ground, botanical and zoological park, water bodies
and other natural features, places of tourist interest etc The norms of UDPFI states that
10sq.m-12sq.m.
12sq.m. Per person area for recreational facilities is required at city level. At this
norm, area required for L.P.A urban by 2031 would be 224 ha, out of which 57 ha. is already
available. But it may increase due to the tourism nature of the town.
5.5.
Land Use Requirements
Residential Use:
Using gross residential density for hilly areas of 150pph, area calculated for residential use is
1246 hectares which is 46 % of the required developed area site area, i.e. 2671 h. Out of this
286 h already exists, and therefore proposed residential
resident area is 960 ha.
Commercial Use:
As per norms given in the UDPFI Guidelines the area requirements for commerc
commercial activity
has been worked out. As per the classification of towns given for medium size town has a
population upto 56897 whereas the large city size starts from population of minimum 25
lakhs. The projected population of L.P.A by 2031 would be 187000.. T
Therefore logically
Udhampur would remain a medium size town, so the norms of medium size town have been
taken for calculating area requirements for commercial use as per tables given below:
Table 5.11:

Source: UDPFI Guidelines
As per the figures given in the table above 1900 sq.m area for different categories of
commercial areas has been proposed for 1000 persons, thus 1.9 sq .m (say 2 sq. m) area is
required per person . The total projected population
population of L.P.A works out to 187253 persons,
therefore total area required for commercial
comme
use is estimated to be 38 ha. (Minimum) but it
has to be increased as per the vision of Tourism and Trade and Commerce.

5.10. Preparation of Planning and Development concept:Cities in a natural course grow like an organism in south directions depending upon the
availability of land and potential for growth, sometimes leapfrogging the natural as well as
manmade barriers. On the basis of existing trend of development and studies conducted by
the Tech Mech International Pvt. Ltd,
Ltd, it is observed that the development activities around
Udhampur are concentrated
ated along main roads passing through the city besides the area falling

Chapter 6: Planning
Planning & Development Proposals
Looking critically at the existing morphology of urban settlements and in depth studies made
and detailed analysis carried out in terms of physical, socio-economic
socio economic and demographical
profile of the planning area, it appears logical
logical and rational that spatial planning framework
for the future growth and development of the Udhampur Local Planning Area should be
defined in order to ensure the integrated growth of entire planning area and to launch
Udhampur and other settlements on the path of fast trajectory of growth and development.
6.1.
Proposed Layer Development:
Accordingly, Udhampur LPA covering an area of 6545 hectares has been visualized in the
four distinct layers that are described in detail below:below:
 Layer I: Area Enclosed by Dhar Road, Sailan Talab Road, Circular Road , Bus Stand
Road and NH-44 (from Bus Stand Road To Dhar Road):
 Layer II:Area Enclosed By Municipal council, Uhampur
 Layer III: Area outside M.C Limit and up to the Future Developable Limit.
 Layer IV: Agricultural/Rural
Agricultural/Rural Area/Defence/ Airforce /Forest outskirt.
6.1.1. Layer I: Area Enclosed by Dhar Road, Sailan Talab Road, Circular
Road, Bus Stand Road and NH
NH-44 (from Bus Stand Road to Dhar
Road):
The layer has a total area of 83 hectares, which constitutes merely 12 percent of the area of
the Udhampur city. It houses approximately 44% of the population of the city. It means it has
a gross residential density of 301 pph.
However, this layer has a unique quality of growth and development. It has distinction of
housing the major Cultural and Religious landmarks. In addition, it is also the hub of Trade
and Commerce symbol of Udhampur Town. Accordingly, Layer has been considered as the
first layer of the entire planning area, being its heart and soul. Considering the historicity oof
the area due to the presence of Devika Temple, Dhabbar park, and Gol Market, narrow streets
and specialized markets, the zone is proposed for preservation, conservation and up
up-gradation
of infrastructure in order to make it a Tourist hub of Udhampur. Considering
Considering the inherent
strength and value of this Planning Layer as the symbol of physical, social, economic and
historical growth, it is proposed that it should be designated as “Trade
Trade and Tourism Area
Area”,
it should be developed
veloped to preserve the existing rich character. Accordingly, following
strategies are proposed for the first planning layer of Udhampur:
 To preserve, enhance and promote the basic character of Layer one : Old city
107
Data Base Report
Udhampur
Town P
Jammu
 To promote quality of life by improving, upgrading and providing state of art
infrastructure and services.
 To undertake selective de-congestion
de congestion of the old city by shifting of wholesale markets
and Government offices including Schools, Polytechnic College Saw Mills etc. to
identified planned areas outside the Old City in the Battal Ballian
Ballian along the bye pass,
Dhar Road and railway line networks.
 To promote de-congestion
congestion by eliminating sub-division
sub division of land and change of land use
from residential to commercial and others.
 To promote revitalization of first Planning Layer way of Special Area Action plan.
 To frame detailed “Urban Design Guidelines” for promoting and enhancing the
quality of urban spaces.
 To promote Conservation and Preservation of heritage buildings
 To promote Tourist Walk by developing processional route of connecting Go
Gol market,
Devika Temple, Dhabbar Park also include Court Road, Mukherjee bazaar, etc.
 Provision/ Up-gradation
gradation of higher level of Urban and Tourist infrastructure.
 To promote, preserve, enhance and augment the bazaar culture in the First Planning
layer in order
rder to make it a role model of urban heritage.
 Pedestrianization of the First Planning layer in order to decongest and eliminate the
traffic problems due to lack of adequate road width/parking.
 Implementing time regulation for undertaking loading and unlo
unloading activity for
existing wholesale markets within first Planning layer.
 To identify, create and develop available open spaces through proper landscaping
within First planning layer.
Considering the critical role, historical importance and typical character
character of the first Planning
Layer, it is proposed that it shall be developed as a distinct entity. Accordingly, a specific,
exclusive and detailed plan for the development of layer one needs to be prepared. The plan
should be based on the prime consideration,
consideration, having focus on Urban Design and Conservation
& Preservation. Such a plan would be critical in order to preserve, promote and enhance the
Tourism and commercial ambiance of the old city besides improving quality of life and
productivity of Udhampur. The preparation of urban design development plan for the First
Planning layer needs to be taken up on priority. Already Scheme For The Conservation of
development of Devika complex projects have beenproposed/ being taken up without any
integration. It will be critical to integrate these projects within a well-defined
well defined framework.
Accordingly preparation of such a Development Plan for first Planning layer assumes
importance considering the required amount of investments and numbers of development
projects are beingg taken up in the First planning layer.

In addition to regulating and rationalizing the development of Old city of Udhampur by
declaring it Trade and Tourism Area, it has been considered appropriate to focus on the
development around Dhabbar park, and GOL market which forms the very heart and soul of
Udhampur and around which entire future growth for the Subcity Centre would gravitate.
The old buildings are being demolished and new ones are constructed on such sites. The new
construction does not gel with the existing pattern of development and are fast emerging as
eye-sores.
sores. Further, the use of land is undergoing rapid transformation with residential areas
being converted into commercial complexes and hotels for catering to Tourism and Trade and
Commerce. All these changes are taking place outside the framework of existing pattern of
development with the result Character of the area is being marginalized and diluted. In
addition, large volume of built up spaces and change of use of land has resulted in crea
creating
numerous developmental and traffic/transportation problems besides destroying the valuable
character of Old City which is the very basis of existence and development of Udhampur.
Accordingly, it is critical that the area around Dhabbar park and Gol Ma
Market, Devika
Complex should be carefully and thoughtfully preserved and conserved so that valuable
Medieval wealth of the city is not lost in the haze of unplanned and irrational development of
the First Planning layer. In order to achieve the objective, it
it is proposed to declare area
around Dhabbar Area, Gol Market as a Special Tourism zone.. This zone has been identified
in the map of First Planning layer and also comprises of Devika Complex.
In order to protect and enhance the existing character of Speciall Tourism zone
zone, it is
proposed to prepare detailed guidelines for the First Planning Layer, for which following
strategies shall be involved:1. Prohibiting the change of Land Use and subdivision of land within the special
Tourism Zone
2. Framing exclusive development
development control regulation for the special Tourism Zone.
3. Using different controls in terms of:
a. Floor Area Ratio
b. Height controls
c. Land Use control
d. Setbacks/projections
e. Façade control
f. Material control
4. Using urban design as the mechanism to control and regulate development.
5. Rationalizing advertisement in the special Tourism zone through advertisement
controls.
6. Pedestrianisation of approach road to Gol Market, Dhabbar Park and Devika Complex
shifting the Municipal Council office from the Town Hall and rem
remodeling the Space
to convert it into a Parking cum a Musical Garden.

of areas of Historical, Architectural and Tourist importance.
However, all the services laid down in the Special Tourism zone shall be made underground
including, electrical, telephone etc. in order to minimize Visual Pollution. Display of
advertisement on the buildings and along the roads shall be regulated and made integral part
of buildings and available
ilable spaces. Special lighting arrangements shall be made to enhance the
Visual effect of Dhabbar Park, Gol market and Devika Complex and available spaces.
Congestion shall be eliminated by regulating the movement of vehicles, removal/re
removal/re-location
of informal
mal activity, vehicular parking on the Outskirts of the First Planning layer and
widening of the fore courts of Gol markets.
All unauthorized constructions shall be removed; height of the buildings constructed in
Special Tourism zone shall be regulated in order to ensure that no building is constructed
more than the existing height so that the ambience is not diluted. Based on the above
parameters, detailed strategies for the development of the special tourism Zone shall be
prepared.
6.1.2. Layer II: Area Enclosed By Municipal Council Udhampur
The area enclosed by the Municipal Limit but outside the First Planning Layer has been
defined as the second layer of Master Plan. This layer comprises of an area of 585 hectares
and houses remaining 66 percent of the population of the city. It means it has a gross
residential density of 38 persons pph and it has a net residential density of 198 hectares.it is
the layer which houses major transportation linkages of rail and road besides the air. Its

National Highway 44 etc is undergoing fast changes due to large-scale
large scale conversion of land use
from residential to commercial and from low rise to high-rise
high rise developments creating
numerous problems of urban design, traffic and transportation, congestion etc. There are still
large pockets
ts lying vacant/ unplanned which needs to be taken up for planning on priority.
Large-scale
scale development is also taking place in the area, which needs to be regulated
carefully and thoughtfully. The western side of the Dhar is already developed but majority of
the eastern belt is undeveloped and also the land along the Bye pass is also not developed.
Accordingly, it is proposed that immediate steps should be taken to frame development
scheme for this area in order to minimize the loss of planned character oof the area. In
addition, the portion of Dhar road and Bye pass is also undergoing rapid sub
sub-division and
Major development. The area is proposed to be developed to meet the high standard of
development besides providing essential infrastructure and services
services in terms of Residential
Complexes, etc. to meet out the future requirement of population. The northern side of this
layer is falling under the reserved forest which has to be kept as such. In order to preserve the
basic character of the area, it has been proposed to put in place a well
well-defined system of
controls for growth and development of the area and its built environment. Therefore, in
order to preserve the basic character, the following is proposed:
 To retain the basic character of the area as low density
density and low rise.
 To minimize the conversion of land use.
 To minimize the sub-division
division of land.
 To enhance and augment the quality of basic infrastructure.
 To regulate the future growth and development of the area without changing the
character of the area.
 To take up the development in pockets lying vacant/unused.
 To regulate the development along the Bye pass and Dhar Road.
 To evolve a detailed scheme for shifting of the Government offices located along the
NH-44 and Dhar road.
 To clean the Devak Drain

6.1.3. Layer III: Area outside M.C Limit and up to the Future Developable
Limit:
This layer includes the area outside the M.C limit and up to the proposed Outer Ring Road
connecting bye pass and Dhar Road which defines the outer limit of the Future development
limit of the Master Plan, Udhampur. The layer houses the area of 2028 hectares. This area is
largely agriculture in character dotted with rural settlements. It also has sporadic
development, which is both unplanned and haphazard. It also has ribbon
ribbon development along
the major arteries emerging from Udhampur and providing linkages with the surrounding
settlements. It is largely a low density area which is going to house majority of urban
population coming in Udhampur City.
The area also has numberr of development projects newly developed and proposed like
Industrial Estate Battal Ballian, Housing colony, Transport yard cum Ware houses by the
private developers and promoters. It also has large chunk of flat land located between the
Dhar road and NH-44.. It also has higher level of technical Institutions including B.Ed
Colleges. The area around Police Training College is proposed to be developed as the
Knowledge Centre with attracting quality institutions. Since, the area is largely rural in
character with low density; it offers enormous opportunities for planned development.
Accordingly, development in this area is visualized by adopting following strategies:
strategies: Promoting planned development through a well defined Road Network.
 To make Udhampur self-contained
self

infrastructure.
 Development to be highly compact for minimizing the conversion of agricultural land
to non-agricultural
agricultural uses.
 Development pattern to promote high degree of interface between rural and urban
settlements
 Minimizing ribbon development along the important road network.
 To minimize land speculation by providing large amount of developed land required
for housing/working/recreation for the future population to be housed in this layer.

the west along NH-44 and in the east between railway line and Dhar road.
road To retain the green
character of this layer, it is proposed to prevent or minimize conversion of agricultural land
into non agricultural use such as Residential, Commercial, Industrial, etc. Further, the
development pattern in this layer is proposed to promote high degree of interface between
Rural and Urban area. In addition, the portion of Bye pass road leading to Jammu is also
undergoing rapid sub-division

Proposed Landuse Plan
On the basis of the study of existing land use plan, analysis and population projections of
Udhampur Local Planning Area followed by several discussions with DDC Udhampur and at
different levels a proposed land use plan has been prepared. In this plan, different land use
zones such as Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Institutional, Recreational, Public uses,
Agricultural,, etc. have been earmarked based upon the computation of land use requirements
as stated in the U.D.P.F.I guidelines. The existing growth pattern and after examining the
various possibilities, the afore-said
afore said land use categories have been adopted for the pr
proposed
land use plan. The other concerned aspects of these different land uses have been detailed out
in the following sub-heads.
heads. The proposals & land use mentioned below may be read with
Zoning Regulations, specified later in the chapter 8. The proposed land
land use requirements for
Udhampur L.P.A has been worked out based on the proposed density for Udhampur MC
Area and LPA area for the targeted year 2031. On looking at the existing city structure, it has
been observed that the city is expanding along major radials
radials with rapid developments along
Bye pass leading to Jammu. And the development along Dhar road and NH
NH-44 is controlled
due the existence of defence along these roads.
On taking the Gross Developed Area Density of 70 PPh (the minimum density given
inU.D.P.F.I
.D.P.F.I for big town in hilly areas) for Udhampur M.C., the future urbanisable area
calculated is of the order of 2671 hectares. Although, the future urbanisable area required by
2031 is calculated assuming gross developed area density but it is also impo
important to take into
account the immense growth potential of Udhampur because of its importance as Tourism,
Industrial and Commercial hub. Upcoming development spread over different parts of the
LPA and along the major road corridors, the city may be expected
expected to grow well beyond the
calculated areas. (Refer Plan 1). Though, the growth is expected to come mainly along the
major roads, the area lying between these roads too has been taken up to prevent unplanned
and unregulated development. Finally, the Future Urbanisable Area for Udhampur city is
expected to grow up to the Dudhar Drain in the south and Tawi in the east.
The LPA, Udhampur is spread over an area of 6545 hectares, out of which Udhampur
Municipal Corporation area is of the order of 668.40 hectares.
hectares. It constitutes 10.2 % of the
total Local Planning Area. The urbanisable area for the target year 2031 is pproposed to be
enlarged to 6045 hectares to accommodate the projected population of 187253 persons. The
proposed urbanisable area of the Udhampur would
would comprise of the entire area which falls
within the urban limits of Udhampur Municipal Council besides the area falling under the
jurisdiction of rural settlements in the south and east directions. The future urbanisable area
required for 2031 has beenn worked out and earmarked taking into consideration the existing
114

Udhampur
Town P
Jammu
pattern of growth and direction of development. It has been observed that major development
has been linear in character and is confined primarily along major transport corridors. Growth
and development has also been observed in the periperi urban areas. Accordingly, the
urbanisable area has been proposed to be extended beyond the limit of Municipal Council,
Udhampur in order to accommodate the future population and development. While preparing
the Proposed Land Use Plan for the Udhampur Local Planning Area, care has been taken to
redefine the land uses in terms of Residential, Commercial, Institutional etc for meeting the
land use requirement for different urban uses.
The land uses provided in the Master Plan has been detailed out below:below:
6.2.1. Residential
Residential land use is the major component of a city and accounts for majority of the total
urbanisable area. It shapes and defines the overall structure of the city including its built
mass. The residential
esidential zone is spread over the entire urbanisable area proposed in the Master
Plan and includes both the existing residential areas available in the town as well as new
areas proposed for accommodating the future population. Accordingly, the residentia
residential area
extends beyond the existing developed area and the urban limits. In order to accommodate
the projected population of 187253 persons up to the year 2031, residential area of the order
of 1246 hectares is required based on the gross residential density
density uniformly of 150 P.P.H.
However, the area under this category has been kept on higher side considering the existing
pattern of growth and high growth potential of the city as Industrial, Educational, Tourist hub
and Regional Character of Udhampur. Irrespective
Irrespective of the requirements, the residential area is
proposed to be extended up to Outer Ring Road joining Bye pass and Dhar road. Two
Housing colonies (one in the Battal Ballian and other in Rathian village) are already coming
up along the existing major road network .
While defining land use proposals, care has been taken to accommodate and integrate both
already existing residential areas appearing in Existing Land Use Plan and the area proposed
to be added for a future population. However, contours of residential
residential area have been
rationalized keeping in view the existing population distribution in the city and density
pattern of proposed to be achieved in the Master Plan. It has been proposed to adopt a two
twotier structure for the residential area based on the residential density as detailed below:
below:-

The areas zoned for residential use are based, not merely on the density defined above but
also on the potential for future growth besides preserving the valuable agricultural land.
Considering the density pattern proposed above, it is proposed to ensure compact
development off the city and accordingly, considerable proportion of the residential area
particularly on the periphery may remain undeveloped by 2031.
RD1- The core city area of the city (Layer) has high population density and is accordingly
highly congested with poor quality of living.
l
Core city has merely 12 of the total are
area of
Udhampur but it houses 66 percent of city population. In order to improve the quality of life
and to provide higher order of open spaces, it is proposed to be decongested the core city by
reducing the net residential
tial density to the level of 300 PPh from the present density of more
than 380PPh. However, the area under core city would continue to be categorized as high
highdensity zone with proposed density pegged.
RD2- Area already developed along all
all major roads and the area surrounding the high density
zone has been put in the category of medium density, where the density is proposed to be of
the order of 150 persons per hectare. In order to make the compatible use, the medium
density zone has been provided in proximity to the existing residential area. The net density
has been kept high in order to preserve the valuable agricultural land and to make the
residential area more compact and energy efficient. This zone would also provide additional
infrastructure
astructure and services which are deficient in the core area of the city.
RD3- In order to have a well-defined
well defined hierarchy of residential areas, a density pattern that
gradually decreases from the core to the periphery has been adopted in the Master Plan.
Accordingly,
ccordingly, the area outside the Outer Ring Road and the L.P.A boundary has been
earmarked for rural zone. In this zone, the residential development has been permitted only to
accommodate the natural growth and expansion of the rural settlements in the sha
shape of a belt
varying from 20-50
50 meters around the abadi area depending upon the size and population of
rural settlements. All these zones have been placed in the category of low density residential
development, with density limited to 70 persons per acre in
in order to preserve the basic rural
character of low density low rise. It is also proposed that all the villages falling outside the

Jammu
proposed urbanisable limit and within L.P.A boundary shall also be developed in a planned
manner. The extent of residential area has been provided in order to achieve the objective of
providing “Affordable Shelter for all” defined in the National Housing and Habitat Policy,
2007 evolved by the Govt. of India. For achieving the target of housing for all, the housing
needs for all
ll income groups are to be assessed.
In order to ensure the availability of developed land in adequate quantity and at affordable
price, it is proposed to leverage the active participation of private and co
co-operative sectors.
Accordingly, appropriate framework and the housing strategy will have to be such, which
ensures active participation of Public, Private and Cooperative sectors. While providing
affordable shelter to all, optimum utilization of land would form integral part of the
development strategy. To develop of new residential areas it shall be based on well
well-defined
norms in order to provide housing for all sectors of society. The policy should aim at making
the existing development integral part of Master Plan proposals following the prescrib
prescribed
norms.
6.2.1.1. Housing for Economically Weaker Section
Housing strategies for the urban poor needs a holistic and multi-pronged
multi pronged approach. For
effectively addressing the issue, increased supply of developed land and its availability in
equitable and sustainable manner would be vital. The existing inequity in access of land to
poor has to be removed. Policies must free the restrictions on land supply and make the land
market efficient and sensitive to their demand. While proposing new residential area, housing
for the economical weaker section must be included as an essential ingredient of the Master
Plan considering that more than 90% of the housing shortage falls in the category of L.I.G
and E.W.S housing. It will be critical to provide adequate land for them at the most
affordable price. In addition to providing majority of plots in this category, it will also be
essential that certain percentage of land/plots/flats are provided for L.I.G/E.W.S housing in
all the housing projects sanctioned by the State Government.
Government. In addition, existing slums
would also require detailed study and analysis before taking decision with regard to their up
upgradation or redevelopment but only Jakhani Slum pocket is proposed to relocate.
Considering the enormity and magnitude of problem, eradicating slums and providing
affordable shelter to poor will largely depend upon our capacity to leverage land in right
quantity, at right place and at right price. For providing affordable shelter, it will be
appropriate to consider the option of forming
form
co-operatives
operatives of the slum dwellers for
leveraging their resources. Approach would have to change from subsidy
subsidy- based to cost
recovery housing for creating required number of houses for L.I.G/E.W.S categories.

6.2.2. Commercial
Udhampur has dominated the urban
urban canvas as one of the most vibrant centre of trade and
commerce in its own Sub Region. As Udhampur is an important commercial centre at both
local and regional level and will continue to function as a larger regional centre serving the
population even outside
side L.P.A, therefore, the city requires development of new commercial
areas. Accordingly, sufficient area is proposed to be earmarked under this use in the Local
Planning Area. In order to meet the emerging requirement of commercial areas 5% of the
total urbanisable area has been proposed
propo
under this use. In all 38 hectares has been proposed
for commercial development. It is proposed to develop an additional area of 436.48 hectares
in a planned manner. The existing area is proposed to be Retained, Develope
Developed, Augmented
and Enhanced in terms of infrastructure and services in order to enable it to cater to the needs
of commercial areas. Additional area proposed in the Master Plan will be essentially utilized
for creating state of art infrastructure for certain wholesale markets existing inside the core
city area which has to be shifted outside the core city.
As the existing city is proposed to grow to 1.87 lakh persons approximately, therefore, two
more district shopping centers and one city level shopping centre
centre are proposed to serve the
commercial needs of the Projected Population, Defence and Air Force by 2031. The existing
commercial development has been proposed to develop as a bazaar culture and commercial
walk to attract tourism. In addition, commercial centers will also be developed as integral part
of new residential areas Planning and Development. Further, about 5% of residential colony
is required to be provided for commercial use, so that when the new residential areas are
developed in the future the commercial areas will be ear marked based on the norms specified
above.
The latest trend of commercial development in form of Retail shopping centre is also being
observed in Udhampur. Two shopping centre of this type namely Big Bazar and Vishal Mega
Mart are operational. Considering the need of quality commercial development, Hotels,
Shopping Malls and Multiplexes, Convention Centers Exhibition Halls and Golf Clubs have
been proposed along Bye Pas road leading to Jammu because Bye pass is lying on the maj
major
tourist route of Jammu and Kashmir. In order to leverage on the strength of preparing
delicacies it is proposed to set up Food Courts in different parts of the city. This would help
in not only promoting economy of the city but also attract number of to
tourists to the city.
Appropriate sites shall be identified within and outside core city with adequate parking for
setting up of Food Courts. Such Food Courts should be set up near existing Town hall,
Dhabbar Park, Jakhani Park, and within Gol market, Meat market,
market, Mukherjee bazaar and
Court road.

In addition, considering the requirement of large volume of export/import to other states, a
Trade and Commerce zone including warehousing, Godowns, Logistic Park, Freight
complexes, cold Storage etc has been proposed
proposed near the Ramnagar Railway station towards
Jammu looking at its close proximity to the proposed and existing industrial zone and railway
line. This will help to segregate the Heavy traffic outside the city area. Since there are no
norms available for this particular land use, a zone of 100 hectares has been earmarked.
Further, the commercial area is proposed to be developed through a well
well-defined system of
zoning regulations and development control regulations provided in the Master Plan that take
care of the needs of commercial area development. In order to overcome the perpetual
problem of parking in commercial area, providing adequate parking area has been made
integral part of commercial area planning. Well defined norms for parking has been provided
inn the Development Control Regulations appended in the Master Plan. Authorities must
ensure that adequate parking space is provided in the commercial areas and no vehicle is
allowed to use road as the parking space. Sites for parking lots shall also be crea
created in the
various part of town.
At present, there is one wholesale market in operation, i.e. Thanda Badder vegetable Market
which has to be kept as such and whole sale shops are proposed to locate here which are
proposed to be shifted from the core city( First planning layer).
6.2.2.1. Informal sector
Informal sector has considerable role to play in meeting the basic needs of the residents
besides generating employment. Considering large number of visitors to the city and the basic
character prevailing in Udhampur,
Udhampur, informal sector has been found to be playing active part in
meeting the commercial needs of the city. However, in the absence of any regulated system,
informal sector has been found to exist in major part of the city. Based on the primary survey
conducted
ed for the informal sector in the city, it has been felt that organized sites for informal
sector are required to be created near the main city nodes such as Town Hall and Old Bus
Stand, Salathia Chownk, Gol Market and other transport nodes etc. It is sugg
suggested that the
organized well-planned
planned sites for rehri markets shall be proposed in the new planned colonies
while implementing the Master Plan. In addition, organized and well
well-planned sites for
vendors shall also be provided as integral part of the planning
planning and development of town in
order to minimize the haphazard and unplanned mushrooming of such activities in the city.
Shifting of Elecrical and Maintenance
Maintena e office and Old Bus Stand from the core city will create
a land to be used for this purpose.

areas. All residential areas provided in the Master
Plan shall be planned to provide for all public and semi public uses based on the space norms
and standards specified in the Master Plan. This zone will accommodate Physical and Social
Infrastructure including
ing Education, Libraries and Health institutions, Government offices,
Socio-Cultural
Cultural and Religious facilities, Utilities and Services such as Water Treatment Plant,
Sewerage Treatment Plant, Solid Waste Disposal sites etc. Udhampur has large number of
prestigious
stigious institutions catering to all levels of education and healthcare. Accordingly, in
order to leverage on this strength, it is proposed to create knowledge centers in the city.
Further, the area along the PTC College outside the M.C area and Bye pass Road towards
Jammu has enormous potential for development of Educational and Health institutions
serving both the city, L.P.A and surrounding urban settlements. A Medical and Health Zone
is also proposed along the Bye pass Road to cater the higher medical needs of the city
residents. The Socio Cultural facilities like Exhibition Grounds, Convention Centers, Music,
Art and Drama Center etc is proposed to be developed along the Bye Pass Road Leading to
Jammu. Considering the existence of several numbers of regional level institutions including
PTC College, B.Ed colleges, Polytechnic college etc, it is proposed to make this area as the
institutional hub for the region. Accordingly, Institutional/ Educational zone has been
proposed near PTC College in order to use the existing potential of the area. Further, it is
proposed to include provisions of all public and semi public facilities as integral part of
residential development in order to make the residential areas self sufficient in basic needs
and community facilities. Detailed planning and development norms for these facilities have
been provided in the Development Control Regulations. While sanctioning the residential
colonies, it will be ensured that all these facilities are provided based on the specified norms.
In case of Panchayat land of villages falling in Local Planning Area, these lands shall be used
exclusively for public and semi-public
semi public uses including Utilities, Services, Physical and Social
infrastructure, parks, open spaces, community facilities etc. and not for any other purpose.
6.2.5. Government Land
Udhampur, being the historic city and a district headquarter, has large area owned by
Government. It also has large number of Government Offices located at different places in
the city and accordingly people/
ple/ residents visiting these offices for work are required to travel
from one place to another. In addition to considerable inconvenience to the public, it also
causes lack of co-ordination
ordination between these offices due to scattered location. Due to location
in the congested areas, it also causes parking related problem. Considering the people’s
convenience and for promoting better coordination, there is proposal to develop District
Administrative Complex (D.A.C) in the city housing all the offices of local an
and district level.
122
Data Base Report
Udhampur
Town P
Jammu
The new District Administrative Complex is proposed to be set up at the Rathian village near
the proposed Bus stand for the convenience of the commuting population. Further, the area
available on shifting the district level offices will be used as per the uses permitted in the
zone in which they will be falling.
Moreover, Udhampur, being a Head Quarter of Northern High command has strategic
importance from the point of view of the Defence and Air Force. It has ----- hectares of city’s
developed
eloped area owned by the Govt. of India. Area is largely being used for residential and
administrative purposes. The area is well planned and has good quality infrastructure.
However, due to location, the area has problem of integration with other land use
uses. It has
been proposed to retain the existing area under Govt. land (for Defence purposes) as such in
the Proposed Land Use plan. An ammunition depot sites are existing in Udhampur. In
Udhampur, it is located within defence area limits along the NH-44
NH
nearr Kali Mata Mandir.
As per the notification of Govt. of India, a no construction zone of 900 meters around these
sites is to be earmarked where no activity relating to mining or construction is permitted.
Accordingly, a restricted zone of 900 meters has been
been marked in the proposed Land Use Plan
which is totally falling in the Defence land.
6.2.6. Recreation
As already explained, Udhampur badly lacks in the provision of green /recreational spaces in
the city which has affected adversely the quality of life prevailing in the city. Accordingly,
there is an urgent need to provide recreational area as per prescribed
prescribed norms and standards. In
order to meet the deficiency of such activities, a recreational area has been proposed along
Devak River which is passing through Udhampur LPA and meets with the Beerwan Nalah in
the south. In addition, available green belt is also
also proposed to retain as such because it is
along both side of Devak River and is proposed to be developed as green belt/recreational
area. Further, for meeting the regional level requirements of Recreation, a Floriculture Park is
already in operation located
ted in Jakhani. This park has to keep as such in the Master Plan. The
total area proposed under recreational use is 540 hectares, which works out to bbe 24% of the
total urbanisable area of the city. Recreational areas are also proposed to be carved out wit
within
the core city and area adjoining the core city particularly in the southern part where, due to
unplanned and haphazard development, very little open spaces and recreational areas are
available. The area available within core city from the process of decongestion
decongestion and shifting of
wholesale markets is proposed to be used in majority of cases for creation of open spaces and
recreational area. In addition, area in the core city, which houses Boys school, Town hall and
Girls College, is also proposed to be developed
developed as major recreational zone to attract tourism.
In addition to that in the north of LPA Reserve forest area exists which is proposed to
develop as a Camping and Eco Tourism site with the coordination of forest department to

cted on Proposed Landuse Plan of Udhampur in order to meet the future
demand of exhibition/ conventions/ stay of the tourist/ delegates attending such conferences/
visiting exhibition.
In Udhampur, concept of ‘City
City Forest’ is proposed to be adopted under w
which available
green area at selected places shall be put under intensive plantation. This would not only
increase the green cover in the city, but would also improve the quality of environment
besides attracting large number of birds which would be living in these forests.
The Devak River and Air Force Nalah which are covering the major part of the length and
breadth of the city and have high degree of pollutants are proposed to be developed as the
Leisure Valleys of Udhampur. It is proposed that all sources
sources of pollution along these Drains
are to be removed (Detail has been discussed in the Tourism proposals) The Devak and Air
Force Nalah are proposed to be developed as the channels carrying clean water (only natural
water by rain) In addition, the walkways are proposed to be planned along these two drains in
the form of terraces besides undertaking the landscaping.
In addition, all the residential areas will be planned in such a manner that they have required
level of Open, Recreation and other spaces. Provision
Provision of such spaces shall be made integral
part of the planning of residential areas. Norms and Standards have already been defined in
the Master Plan for these spaces. Accordingly, it will be ensured that all the residential
colonies conform to these norms
rms of recreational activities.
6.2.7. Green belt
With the objective of preserving the valuable agricultural land and maintaining its basic rural
character, non-urbanisable
urbanisable area falling within Local Planning Area has been proposed as
Green Belt in form of agricultural
agricultural zone. This zone comprises of the area between the outer
ring road and local planning area boundary bounded by river Tawi in the east and Dudhar in
the west.. This zone comprises of 3349 hectares out of the total L.P.A area of 6845 hectares.
Area aroundd rural settlement in the shape of belt will be permitted to be used for meeting the
shelter and other related needs of the population likely to be added by 2031. The pattern of
development shall be restricted to low density and low rise. This area can be used after 2031
as a future expansion of the city population.

6.2.8. Conservation Areas:
The city of Udhampur has not much heritage that needs to be Preserved, Conserved and
Promoted except the existing Devika Complex. Accordingly, a well-defined
well defined strategy will
have
ve to be put in place in order to integrate them in the future growth and development of
Udhampur L.P.A. Detailed proposals based on ground realities and the special character of
this complex needs to be prepared with sensitivity in order to make them as aan area of tourist
attraction. Well-defined
defined planning and development norms around these heritage buildings
will required to be evolved in order to minimize haphazard, unplanned and substandard
growth in the area. For the conservation and improvement of this complex a Scheme namely
(Infrastructure and Destination Development Scheme of Holy Devika Devasthan –
Udhampur) has already been Prepared by the State government with the estimated cost of Rs
314.25 lakhs . The proposals of this scheme are proposed to keep
keep as such in the Master Plan.
6.3.
Proposed Tourism Plan:
Plan
The existence of Devika Temple has made Udhampur as the tourist centre. Accordingly, it
attracts large number of tourists on day-to-day
day day basis. In addition, it has a distinct advantage of
having a number of tourist and Religious sites present within its surroundings, which offer
enormous opportunities of development. These sites can be effectively used and developed
for leveraging the tourism potential and for providing, required impetus to the tourism.
Further,
rther, it has been observed that despite large no. of tourists visiting the city, their actual
stay is limited. Most of the tourists stay for 2-3
2 3 hours in the city. In order to make tourism as
the major economic driver for the area, it is proposed to extend
extend the stay of the tourists to one
–two
two days. In addition, city has very limited accommodation for catering to low budget
tourists. Accordingly, it is also important that appropriate level of budget hotels are created in
the city. Scheme for accommodating tourists
tourists in the residential houses (bed and breakfast) can
also be considered as an option for providing affordable accommodation to the tourists.
Incentive based scheme will have to be framed for creating appropriate level of budget
accommodation. It is also
so proposed to provide numerous options for the tourists by
developing tourist circuits at two distinct levels as detailed below:
The entire approach to promote tourism shall revolve around provision of following four
approaches:1. Promoting high degree of accessibility,
2. Providing comfortable and affordable quality accommodation, including low budget
accommodation
3. Creating more opportunities for attracting tourists, and

for promoting awareness about heritage and tourism development.
Moving via circular road after parking at Town hall site (Proposed Parking site), Devak
temple comes first and then returning to Circular road and
and climbing to the Gol market by
steps, and then to visit Mukherjee Bazar, Gol market, Dhabbar Park. Again returning to the
parking site from front of Electrical and Maintenance Department and then enjoying the
Musical garden (Proposed) (Refer map 9)
All the above routes can be combined and developed based on the pattern followed in
“Freedom Trail”” adopted in the case of city of Boston, U.S.A. for showcasing the rich
Heritage and History of the city.
6.3.2. Regional level Tourist Circuit:Circuit:
At regional level, two distinct tourist circuits have been identified which can be developed
and promoted for tourism:1. Udhampur-Katra-Udhampur
Udhampur
2. Udhampur-Kud-Patnitop
Patnitop-Udhampur
6.3.2.1. Udhampur-Katra
Katra-Udhampur:
This tourist circuit falls within the districts of Udhampur and Reasi District and includes
important Religious and Historical destinations of Vaishno Devi and Udhampur The circuit
will have numerous options in terms of, Recreational tourism and Religious tourism. Katra is
situated in the foothills of the Trikuta Mountains, where the holy shrine of Vaishno Devi is
located. It is located 37 km far from the city of Udhampur.
6.3.2.2. Udhampur-Kud

spot of Patni Top while driving to Patni top from Udhampur and it is famous for its sweet
shop that makes hot and fresh Patisa that is very popular with the tourists.
In addition to above, it is also proposed that important entries to city including Entry from
Jammu and Srinagar should be taken up for beautification through appropriate quality of
landscaping, creation of gates and through well designed lighting and water features with
signage’s in order to accord a warm welcome to the visitors to the city.
6.4.
Proposed Traffic and Transportation Plan:Plan
Traffic and Transportation is the most critical component of any city because
because it defines and
determines both existing and future Patterns, Typology of Growth and Development of the
city.
Since, the Traffic and Transportation in any city is the function of Landuse, accordingly
Traffic and Transportation network would be required
required to be integrated with the proposed
landuse in order to provide high degree of connectivity and travel options between various
Landuses. It would also be critical to increase the operational efficiency of different urban
centers.
Accordingly, Traffic and Transportation plan of Udhampur up to the year 2031 has been
proposed based on the Proposed Landuse Plan for Udhampur. The proposals related to
Traffic and Transportation Plan as detailed, aims at rationalizing the existing road network,
creating a well defined
fined hierarchy of roads, redesigning the critical areas including road
junctions, creating over-bridges,
bridges, rationalizing the inter and intra city traffic, creating adequate
parking spaces, ensuring distribution and collection of traffic from various parts oof the city
both in terms of existing and proposed development, developing well defined interface
between different land uses, improving efficiencies in traffic movement within the city,
minimizing delays etc in order to improve the operational efficiency and
and productivity of the
city. The proposed traffic and transportation plan defined in the proposed Landuse plan will
form the basis for promoting the rational and planned growth of the Udhampur. The proposed
network will also help in redefining the proposed urbanisable area in to different
development zones which can be planned on the basis of self contained and self sufficient
neighborhood principles with convenience as a major objective. This would also help in
promoting communities and interlinking them to
to the basic framework of the city. In addition,
it will also help in redesigning the basic infrastructure and services essential for basic
sustenance of the people and the city.

6.4.2. Proposals for Urban Roads (Widening/Strengthening Of Existing Roads wit
within
LPA)
The study of existing city road network reveals that there are several roads which are
overcrowded carrying more volume of traffic than their carrying capacity. There is no
possibility or scope of widening of existing Right of Way (R.O.W.) of thes
these roads due to
thickly built up areas existing within the city. If the volume of traffic on a road section
exceeds the design capacity, the operating conditions will deteriorate. However, some
measures of road engineering can be adopted for improving the capacity
capacity of these roads as per
the guidelines defined by the Indian Road Congress for capacity enhancement of Urban
Roads. Some of the measures proposed for enhancement of road capacity are detailed below:
1. Prohibiting on–street
street parking of vehicles and simultaneously
simultaneously developing off
off–street
parking facility;
2. Segregating the bi-directional
directional traffic flow by providing central verge/median;
3. Imposing selective restrictions on the heavy commercial vehicles on the busy arterial/
sub-arterial
arterial roads, especially during the
t peak hours;
4. Reduction of road side friction through control of abutting land
land–use and roadside
commercial activity; Provision of adequate facilities for pedestrians.
5. Rationalising conflicting movements at major intersections, particularly during peak
hours;
6. Minimising the cross traffic and side–street
side street traffic by regulating the gaps in the
medians; and
7. Promoting traffic discipline such as proper lane use and over taking by involving
stakeholders, through appropriate road markings, education and publicity.
The following urban roads in Local Planning Area, Udhampur have been identified and
proposed for adopting the aforesaid traffic engineering measures.
1. NH-1 A
2. Bus stand road
3. Dhar road
4. Devika Circular road
5. Sangoor
6. Shiv nagar road
7. Omara
8. Circular road
9. Railway road
10. Roads inside the Core city area.

In addition, all the road widening projects being undertaken of Bye pass and Dhar road within
the Udhampur urban limit shall form integral part of the road infrastructure development and
shall be integrated with the proposal defined above.
6.4.3. Junction Improvements
In addition to inadequacy of road network in the Udhampur city, it has also been observed
that the majority of road junctions have not been properly Planned, Designed and
Constructed.
This has led to the creation
reation of traffic bottlenecks at major junctions of the city besides
causing delays and inconvenience to the road users. The congestion at few junctions has also
led to large number of accidents. In order to rationalize the flow of traffic and minimized
conflicts at the junctions carrying large volume of traffic, it is proposed to improve the road
geometry at number of junctions that have recorded high rate of accidents. The junctions
proposed for immediate improvement include

public transport system is required to be put in place immediately in order to reduce
dependence on personalized vehicles and congestion on the existing city roads. Accordin

Provision of public transport in the city would ensure reduced dependence on the
personalized modes of transport, thereby, relieving the city roads and improving the city
environment.
6.4.5. Terminals
6.4.5.1.
Proposed Bus Terminal
Considering
sidering the present location, it is proposed to shift existing bus stand within city to Battal
Ballian village on the Bye Pass Road towards Jammu on the stretch of the road from
intersection of Battal Ballian road and bye pass. Relocating Bus stand from iits present
location will rationalize inter and intra city traffic. It will also help in ensuring that all inter
city traffic carried by Buses moves outside the city on the proposed ring roads and does not
congest the city anymore. Shifting of existing Bus stand will be supplemented by an efficient
system of public transport city bus service which will ensure the smooth transfer of
passengers to their destination in different parts of city. New bus stand shall be constructed
on an area of 25-30
30 acres or as per
p the requirement.
6.4.5.2.
Proposed Truck Terminal cum Ware Houses
At present there is no this of facility present in the Udhampur, but demand of this facility has
been arises due to the industrial establishment. The feasibility study of this facility has been
done
ne by Rites and the Site earmarked for it is overlapping with the proposed Housing colony,
so as per the discussion with DDC Udhampur, the new site of Truck Terminal cum
Warehouses has been proposed near the Ramnagar station. Total area earmarked for this
facility is 76 acre. This would also help in achieving integration of the terminal with the
existing Trade and Commerce and proposed Industrial Zone.
6.4.6. Proposed Parking Lot:Lot:
With, ever increasing urban population and increasing trends of vehicle ownership ddue to
improving economic status, the vehicular population in the Udhampur has been found to
133
Data Base Report
Udhampur
Town P
Jammu
increase at a rapid pace. Due to rapid growth of the city, most of the core areas still have road
network of narrow width, which is unable to accommodate large vehicular
vehicular movement.
Accordingly, rapid growth of vehicle ownership has led to creation of major traffic
bottlenecks due to absence of adequate and well-defined
well defined parking spaces. In the absence of
such spaces most of the vehicles are parked on the roads leading to
to traffic congestion and
problems in smooth movement of vehicles. Accordingly, in order to rationalize the movement
of traffic in the city and to achieve the desired level of efficiency, in addition to creating new
linkages/widening of existing roads, it will
will be critical to provide adequate parking spaces in
the city.
For providing adequate parking, different strategies are proposed for area within core city and
other areas. Considering the typical character of the core city, it has already been proposed to
decongest the core area by selective shifting of Trade and Commerce including Wholesale
Market and Population. In order to achieve the objective of decentralization, it is proposed to
pedestrianize majority of area of the core city. Accordingly, it is proposed
proposed that no surface
parking should be created within the core city. In order to meet the parking requirements of
the city, it is proposed to create adequate parking spaces outside the core city along the
Circular road. These parking spaces shall be located
located along Circular Road, Saila Talab road,
Dhar road and Bus Stand Road which should be to close vicinity to all entries which provides
accessibility to the core city.
In case of areas outside the core city, the spaces for creating parking shall be identif
identified in all
commercial areas. The area will also include food court which will also be established in
other parts of the city. In order to minimize the problem of parking in the city, particularly
along the roads, no change of land use from residential to commercial shall be permitted. All
the new areas to be developed shall have provision of parking based on the parking norms
specified in the D.C.R. for different uses. Further, Municipal Council should also consider the
option of charging parking fees from all vehicle owners at the time of registration of vehicle
in order to generate funds for improving the road capacity/infrastructure/creating new
linkages and for making provision of parking.
Traffic nodes like Bus Stand, Railway Station, and Truck Terminal
Terminal are required to be
provided with adequate spaces, both for motorized and non-motorized
non motorized vehicles catering to the
needs of the residents of the city. In addition, sites should also be identified for the auto
rickshaw parking and should be leased out.

6.4.7. Pedestrianization
strianization OF Core City
Looking at the Heritage and Historical importance of the core city-Udhampur,
city Udhampur, it has been
proposed to make Udhampur, a tourist city. Studies have already been made and reports have
already been prepared to declare the Devika Temple
Temple as the Heritage Area. However, the
scope of this exercise needs to be enlarged to cover the entire city in order to preserve its
basic character.
The city at present suffers from large influx of vehicular movement on the narrow roads
leading to congestion.
n. Considering the large number of residents living in the area, major
Trade and Commerce centers existing within the core city, it has been proposed to
pedestrianism the core city by improving streetscape involving provision of Walkways, Street
Furniture, Planting Trees and creating Plazas (near important tourist spots such as Town Hall,
Dhabbar Park ). The total area of the core cityis 85 hectares. Considering the compactness
and character, the entire core city area can be covered on foot within a time sspan of 20
minutes from one end to another end In order to pedestrianize the core city, it is proposed to
have adequate parking spaces located on the outskirts/ of the city so as to restrict the entry of
vehicles inside the core city. It is proposed that the
the people going to the core city area should
park their vehicles in these proposed parking lots for movement inside core city. This type of
parking has been proposed at three locatoions.
a. At the front of existing town hall building on the devak land as a bri
bridge.
b. At the site of DC office
c. At the site of sailatalab Bus stand

Planning Area along Dhar road. In addition it is also proposed that detailed Solid Waste
Management Project to be prepared for the proper Collection, Segregation, Transportation
and Disposals of Generated Waste from the Udhampur Town which will be changed from
time to time.
6.7.
Proposed Sewerage System:
As per the existing topography of Udhampur LPA, there is an opportunity to develop gravity
based Sewerage System. As per the slope direction it is proposed that three trunk sewer lines
should be developed. One along the Air force Nalah, which will act as a main collector of the
eastern part of the LPA, other two along both banks of Devek River, which will become
single on the meeting point of Beerwan and Devak, then moves along the east of Beerwan
and side of Dudhar
dhar drain. The two trunk sewer will act as a main collector of the central and
Western part of the whole LPA and also keep holy Devika free from the pollution because
Holy Devika must be free from any sort of pollution due to its religious importance. It is also
proposed that the sewer will be disposed in the River Tawi after treatment through Sewerage
Treatment plant proposed ( as per the Slope) on the meeting point of River Tawi and Dudhar
Dain.
6.8.
Strategies to obtain land for Public Purpose:
A city typically
ally requires 40% to 50% of its area for variety of public purposes, where land is
owned by the State Government,
Government which is easier to allocate land for public purposes.
However, where private land market is active, it is difficult to ensure land for public purpose
and is a major challenge in preparing a master plan, Conventional master planning relied on
the powers of compulsory acquisition of land designated for public purposes. However,
limitations of this approach have been painfully exposed. At the same time not addressing the
question of land for public purposes may limit the utility of the Master plan itself.
With this background, a wide menu of strategies to obtain land for public purposes is
examined in this chapter. The land required for public purpose
purpose can be divided into four
four-fold
classification as illustrated in diagram below:

etc
solid waste landfill site
(In many cases necessity of a particular activity at the city scale is recognized e.g. Solid
Waste Disposal Site or a Slaughterhouse, but they are locally undesirable and invoke “Not in
My Backyard” response)
No single option can be used uniformly throughout the city. It has to be contextual,
considering the location and the local issues including core areas v/s outlying areas. Similarly
different alternatives may be suitable for different types of public
public purposes. The possible
options for securing land for public purposes such as Roads, Educational, Health, Parks,
Water Supply, Sewerage, Social and Religious Institutes, Old age homes, Community
Centers etc with their limitations are listed below.
6.8.1. Transfer Development Rights:
Alternative to monetary compensation could be an award of Transfer of Development Rights
either to remainder of the land or to a distant location. This could be in three generic cases
viz.
Roads and Road widening:
widening Development rights
ights calculated at the FAR permissible in
adjoining area may be allowed to be used in the remainder of the plot up to a limit.
Development rights that cannot be so consumed can be transferred elsewhere in receiving
areas. If FAR is related to width of the road, resistance to wideningg may get reduced.
Public purposes on open land or exclusive plots:
plots: Lands required for parks and playgrounds
or exclusive uses like Secondary School, Fire Station etc can be obtained by providing TDRs
in lieu of compensation. However,
wever, price differentials in originating and receiving zones could
be considered as an incentive in such cases.
Public purposes that require built-up
built up space but not necessarily exclusive plot
plot: Examples
of this could be Municipal Vegetable Market, Library etc. In such cases, landowner may be
permitted to use the full potential of development in terms of FAR over the plot provided
provided,
offers the built up space required for the public purpose to the local body.

6.8.2. Through Town Development Act 1971
Under section 16 of town development act 1961 of J & K the Compulsory acquisition of land
is as follows:a) If in the opinion of the Government, any land is required for the development, or for
any other purpose under this Act, the Government may acquire such land under the
provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, Samvat 1990.
b) Where any land has been acquired by the Government, the Government may, after it
has taken possession of the land, transfer the land to the Development Authority
(Proposed) for the purpose for which the land has been acquired on payment by the
Authority of the compensation awarded under that Act and the charges incurred by
the Government in connection with the acquisition.
And Under section 19 of this Act - The Authority shall have and maintain its own ffund to
which shall be credited:a) All moneys received by the Authority from the Central or State Government by way
of grants, loans, advances or otherwise
b) all money borrowed by the Authority from source other than the Government by
way of loans or debentures:
deben
c) all fees and charges received by the Authority under this Act;
d) all money received by the Authority from the disposal of lands, buildings and other
properties, movable and immovable; and all moneys received by the Authority by
way of rents and profits
fits or in any other manner or from any other source.
6.8.3. Through Land Pooling (Town

authority may for the purpose of implementation of the provision
provision of the Master Plan or for
providing amenities where the same are not available or are inadequate, frame the Town
Development Scheme and land for various amenities can be earmarked as per the provisions
of this scheme. The strategic approach would relate to geographically depicting the sites
required for public purpose and proposing regulatory framework for obtaining the land for
public purpose whether shown on the plan or not. For this, master plan has to consider
various options as defined below. However,
However, these options have their own limitations and
have uses selectively based on the ground reality, existing conditions, development
potentials, involving private sector, etc

According to the Indian Seismic Zone Map, Udhampur is placed in Seismic Zone IV, which
means high damage risk zone. Such natural and manmade
manmade disasters neither can be prevented
nor predicted. However, with the technological advancement to some extent mechanism can
be developed to mitigate the after effects of the disaster. Areas of vulnerability can be
identified and necessary measures can be proposed by the concerned agencies. The concerned
local bodies should keep updating the building byelaws to safe guard against disasters and
ensure effective and impartial enforcement. Following policies and strategies for disaster
management are proposed:
Pre-Disaster Preparedness
1. Micro-Zonation
Zonation surveys shall be referred for land use planning and be considered while
preparing the sectors/Zonal Plans and Layout Plans.
a. Seismic micro-zonation
zonation for selected areas having high growth rates shall be taken
up on priority.
b. On the basis of vulnerability studies and hazard identification, which includes soil
conditions, probable intensity of earthquake, physiographic conditions of the area,
fault traces, etc., local level land use zoning and planning shall be undertake
undertaken.
2. Building byelaws shall incorporate the aspects of Multi Hazard Safety, and Retrofitting.
a. Priority shall be given to public buildings (such as hospitals, educational,
institutional, power stations, infrastructure, heritage monuments, lifeline structures
and those which are likely to attract large congregation) for their ability to withstand
earthquake of the defined intensity.
b. Suitable action should be taken for retrofitting and strengthening of structures
identified as vulnerable as per earthquake manuals
manuals and National Building Code. A
techno-legal
legal regime has to be adopted for provision Multi Hazard Safety aspects.
c. Udhampur Fire Services being the nodal agency for disaster management shall
identify vulnerable areas such as areas with high density and poor accessibility in
the city and propose suitable measures. Proposed Disaster Management Centres
should be established in every zone/sector to deal with the disasters, including bio
biochemical and nuclear disasters.
3. Sensitize people, particularly school children,
children, about after effects of disaster.
4. Make people aware through media campaigns and advertisements about emergency
procedures and location of emergency shelters etc.

It has been observed that any disaster is generally followed by break down of
communication lines and disruption of essential services. Therefore, the key
communication centers shall be protected from natural disasters i.e. flood, fire and
earthquake etc. and services restoration shall be taken up on top most priority. Necessary
setup shall be created in each of the concerned department for such eventualities
2. Standard type designs and layout shall be prepared by the local bodies and made
available to the people so that crucial time may not lose in approval of layout plans and
building plans after disaster.
3. Disaster Management Centers have been proposed to serve people in the case of disaster
and provide emergency shelters.
Other Development Controls and Guidelines
Gu
1. Regulation for village abadis:
abadis: Special Building Regulations shall be prepared for the
development and regulation of an area falling within the Lal Dora or Phirni of the villages
falling in the Local Planning Area.
2. All Panchayat land of villages falling
falling in Local Planning Area shall be used exclusively for
public and semi-public
public uses including utilities, services, physical and social
infrastructure, parks, open spaces, community facilities etc. and not for any other purpose.
3. The existing High Tension lines shall be shifted along the road but outside the Right of
Way to ensure unhindered ROW for traffic and other services for all times.
4. The minor drains shall have minimum 10 meters wide (or as may be specified by the state
govt. from time to time) green
green strips on either side of the drain. Other major water bodies
shall have minimum 30 meters (or as may be specified by the state govt. from time to
time) green strips on each side. Realignment of water bodies shall be permissible
wherever feasible, subject to the certification by the Engineering Department to ensure
free flow of storm water.
5. Contiguous expansion of village abadi’s in non-residential
non residential zones of Master Plan is no
permissible. However, for the village abadi falling in the residential zone of Mas
Master Plan,
no such restrictions shall be applicable.
Transferable Development Rights
To facilitate development, it is necessary to accord top priority to the implementation of
public utilities and infrastructure (such as roads, parks, green belts etc.) which will in turn
encourage planned development/regulated urbanization. However, the re

authority(s).Acquisition of private land for this
purpose is proposed to be carried out through one of the following options:

Cash compensation to be paid to affected land owners whose land is to be acquired or
a land-pooling
pooling scheme may be formulated and implemented.
Out of these options, use of mechanism of TDR (Transfer of Development Rights) is
recommended due to the reasons specified below:

It is relatively simple and direct mechanism to implement and execute.

The requisite public infrastructure projects can be implemented
implemented quickly, thus
facilitating rapid urban development.

The interests of affected landowners are protected.
The TDR scheme shall be restricted to development projects for public infrastructure and
facilities which shall be announced from time to time.

transferable from one LPA to another. The Competent Authority on priority shall finalize
detailed policy guidelines on the operation and implementation of TDR Scheme.
Important note:
In addition to all these building bye laws
laws and development controls the bye laws described in
the Jammu and Kashmir Municipal Council Act 2000 may also be applied on any building as
per the site requirement.
7.2.Zoning Regulation:
Zoning regulations are basic tools for implementation and enforcement of a development plan
within the frame of the Landuse proposals with the intention of achieving orderly growth and
development of the town as envisaged.
Zoning regulations help in controlling
controlling density as well as landuse in ensuring standards
provided for the future expansion of each zone in an appropriate manner.
The enforcement of zoning regulations is like the enforcement of building bye laws. It will
therefore be simpler to follow and can also be enforced by the Udhampur Development
Authority through a qualified Town and Country Planner holding delegated powers.
The enforcement of zoning regulations will require a detailed development plan of the
planning area. The adoption of the
the regulations will, therefore, guide to undertake the

building ‘reads’ from the street and to the character and continuity of the streetscape. The
composition and detailing of the building façade also has an impact
impact on the apparent bulk and
scale of a building. It is important when considering the design of new development that the
predominant patterns, compositions and articulation of façades reinforce the character and
continuity of the streetscape.
Design consideration is to be given to the underlying building materials that contribute to the
character of a building. Such things include roof shape, pitch and overhangs; entry porches,
verandas, balconies and terraces; materials, finishes, fixtures, patterns, fenestrations, colors
and detailing; the location and proportion of windows and doors.

Importance of Legal Framework
Contemporary city planning, through government machinery seeks to regulate market forces,
in a sequential manner towards city building processes with the intention of furthering
citizen’s well being. The challenge comes in providing a quality of life to
together with high
standards of living which are not directly and easily correlated. In the case of Udhampur and
environs, not only citizens but environment also is equally important. The proposed Master
Plan apart from seeking to lay-out
lay
a physical pattern
rn of land use and transportation linkages
for Udhampur local Planning Area as a whole, will serve as a guide for public and
government agencies to conform and integrate their sectoral projects into programmes.
Hence it is important that suitable strategies
strategies are evolved for implementation of the plan
proposals. The authorities have to be identified within the framework of existing legal
framework wherever possible and if required frame new set of rules and regulations or amend
the existing ones.

2. Realization of identified programmes and projects
projects of the Master Plan, by evolving
suitable implementation mechanism.
3. Approval of building plans and layouts
4. Change of land use and reclassification
5. Concurrence with sectoral agencies for land acquisition towards implementation of
physical projects identified
entified in the plan
6. Dealing with land and building activities in contravention to the provision of the
Master Plan
7. Initiate, approve and implement major infrastructure development projects
9.4.2. Role and Responsibilities of the Agencies
A measure of success of the Master Plan would be the extent to which the proposals
envisaged in the plan are implemented in the plan period. The role of various agencies
including the government departments of the Jammu and Kashmir is critical in this regard,
and convergence of efforts of all the concerned stakeholders is required. The departments
responsible for the projects enlisted in the Master Plan need to initiate actions towards
preparation of Detailed Project Reports and Environmental Impact Reports wherever
necessaryy and obtain clearance from all relevant authorities
The Udhampur development authority could be play its role importantly in implementation of
the various development projects enunciated in the Master Plan relating to Tourism as well as
in the development of the Industrial Estate. The authority could help channelizing the
required funds for the projects through application of innovative public private partnership
models.
The role of Information, Publicity and Tourism Department is important in achieving tthe
objectives of the Master Plan. They need to take appropriate measures to attract more tourists
and to create quality infrastructure for the tourists towards employment generation. While
the Master Plan has included physical projects required in this direction,
direction, media publicity and
logistics support for the tourists from the main land could further boost the tourism in the
Udhampur.
As land is an essential component of every project conceived in term of spatial context, the
government departments are to take appropriate steps in acquiring lands for the development
projects. On request from the concerned departments and the concurrence of the UDA, the
187

Town P
Jammu
office of the Deputy Commissioner (South Andaman) may extend cooperation in acquisition
of the lands for the public cause, in order to avoid delay in implementation of the projects.
The Master Plan proposes Amendments to the Municipal Council Building Byelaws, 2000 in
consonance with the proposed development regulations, and suggests that the same may be
made applicable for the entire Planning Area till such time, a common bye laws for all
panchayats in the Udhampur LPA are enacted.

Resource mobilization strategy
As mentioned earlier Udhanpur LPA is spread over and area 6545 hc. Defining the boundries
as river
ver tawi in the east dr drain in the south and a for a reserve forest area in the north.
Character of core city
It is dominated by retail , wholesale trade and government offices like PHE , Electricity and
maintenance office , electrical , municipal council
counci , DC office etc.
Above activities are increasing and net result is of such of rich commercialization and change
of land use has advesly effected traffic movements in the core area. even the podestian
movement has been adversely effected due to increase in
in the number of vehicles both in
private and commercial sector and their parking on the narrow roads.
Government s offices, educational institutions, bus stand, lodges, hotels are concentrated in
the area. There is no organized parking lots and land is not
not available to provide parking inside
the core area.

4. Development of sewerage network
9.5.3. Third Layer Development (2023-2028)
(2023
1. Development of residential area for population and adequate infrastructure
2. Development of tourism zone and tourism activities in forest land
3. Development of outer ring road
9.5.4. Fourth Layer development: (2028-2031)
1. Development of residential area for population and adequate infrastructure
2. Development of gaps by
b reveiew the all phases
.Udhampur due to its location, linkages, phenomenal population growth and urban sprawl is
developing, it is important to effectively implement the proposal of master plan.
This however will depend considerably on the availability of infrastructure such as housing,
power. Transport, water supply, drainage etc
The present level of infrastructure provision is largely indicated which has to be increased
manifold to fulfill the future needs of Udhampur.
After creation of the development
development authority as proposed, it needs careful planning, findings
means of abdicate finances for implementation OF Master Plan proposals.
As suggested in organizational setup it will take some time and it is only putting this in place,
the development activities
es can be pursued.
It is assumed , if efforts are made a period till mid 2013 the process of notifying the draft
master plan 2031 under development act , creation of development authority. remaining six
months , development authority will be required to create
create the development climate ,
mobilizing resources. etc
Consultant estimate that the financial requirement in the first phase to be a around 7 crores
for the land accusation and land development in the phase one. Accordingly various ways of
resource mobilization
ization for the required / investment need to be examined. It has to come as a
seedd capital or in the form of loan from the state government.
189
Data Base Report
Udhampur
Town P
Jammu
Consultant also feel that the capital cost of desired level of services like power, roads, water
supply, etc. would be met from state government budgetary allocation which could be
channelized through various concerning departments such as PWD, PHE , PDD , Medical ,
Educational , police departments.
The consultant feel that the most important source of revenue to will be the sale of land after
accusation and development and the land which will be resolved after shifting the non
confirming uses like bus stand , fire station , government offices etc.
In this connection its is recommended that the function in execution of development projects
should be minimum and should act as a roll of facilitator to assist private developer to
execute the projects.
The resource mobilization strategy would involve identification and accusation of land which
needs to develop
lop or land disposal after site development.
Since no government land is available hence private land has to be accrued. This accusation
could be possible by obtaining seed capital by either through loan or grant from the state
government and can be allotted
ted the different departments.
As a consultant recommend immediately develop parking lots for which land is available
near devak and should generate revenue by getting the annual rent of its sale to formal
parking.
9.6. National Programmes and Funding agencies available for the resources in urban
area.
Availability of adequate funds is an important determinant for successful implementation of
the plan proposals. While conventional pattern of project financing is being in transition, the
private investments and public private partnership modes of infrastructure development
assumes greater significance. This apart, the programmes of the National Government
provides greater opportunities for improving the status of infrastructure and service delivery.
Hence, it is the responsibility of every development agency concerned to take initiatives to
draw maximum funding for the plan implementation.
Integrated development of Small and Medium town Programme, is a programme of national
importance, which has identified the sectors and projects eligible for assistance, which
include:
190

city) areas to reduce
congestion, replacement of old and worn-out
worn out water pipes by new/higher capacity
ones, renewal of sewerage/drainage/solid waste disposal systems, etc.

9. Preservation of water bodies.
At present Udhampur is included in the list of eligible cities for the programme from funds
can be generated for the Programme for the importance of strengthening the infrastructure
and services for sustainable development.
9.7. Into Future
The proposed land use plan 2031 reflects the development strategies evolved on the basis of
many parameters such as physical, social,
social, economical and environmental. The Master Plan
aims to promote the socio-economic
economic conditions coupled with improvements in quality of life.
For successful implementation of the same the following action programmes are required.
1. Prepare and Implement
Implement Detailed Development Plans for the various nodes as
suggested in the Master Plan proposals.
2. Dovetail the recommendations of the deviks scheme prepared by Govt of J and K with
the Master Plan proposals for implementation.
3. Since economic prosperity through
through tourism promotion depends on proper interstate
transportation links and networks, the strengthening and upgradation of the NH
NH-1 A
and laying of circular Udhampur Road is to be given utmost importance.
4. Horizontal and Vertical integration of all the
the sectoral programmes envisaged in the
Master Plan and initiation of action in implementing the same within the timeframe

6. Review of the Master plan periodically, to assess the developments taking place and
suggest amendments in accordance with policies of the Government and the priorities
of the people.
9.8.CONCLUSION
Udhampur with rich bio-diversity,
diversity, requiring environmental
environmental conservation, integration with
land of Defence and Air Force presents a challenge unlike the cities of the main land. It
requires careful strategies for its overall development. The dependency on the main land for
food, and energy needs to be reduced to minimum and Udhampur should evolve sustainable
approach in all planning policies and programmes. The planning strategies evolved through
this Master Plan and other development plans to be taken up in future should include forest
land not only as a geographical
phical asset but also as a human development asset to the nation.
